Abstract

The degree of urbanization of many countries has increased steadily over the last three decades. Urbanization affects natural climatic and hydrologic processes through the production of stormwater, alteration of natural runoff/erosion/evaporation patterns, and disposal of snow (Table 7.1). All of these processes need to be managed for orderly municipal growth.
