Urban Development Can Mess Up Our Water
Accelerated Drainage + Impervious Surfaces + Wetlands Reduction limits our lands' ability to buffer precipitation in our watersheds.
This exacerbates Floods and Erosion and mucks up our rivers, lakes and oceans.
Urban areas can mitigate this problem by adopting land management practices that mimic the area's native geography and habitat.
