Several cities in developing countries are challenging the permanent process of urbanization. This generates a great disturbance on the hydrological response of the urbanized area during rainfall events, which can cause ...

Urbanization affects runoff processes and sediment transport, but the magnitude of the impacts remains poorly understood. Different spatial patterns of pervious and impervious surfaces influence flow and sediment connectivity ...

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to estimate quick and low-cost processes for surface runoff potential on the basis of natural environmental attributes. Design/methodology/approach - An approach based on the natural ...

Study region: Upper Madeira Basin (975,500 km2) in Southern Amazonia, which is suffering a biophysical transition, involving deforestation and changes in rainfall regime. Study focus: The evolution of the runoff coefficient ...

With the growing demand for forestry, especially eucalyptus and pine plantations for the production of wood, pulp and resins, concerns have increased about the impacts on the conservation of water resources, especially ...
