How does replacing natural land with pavement and buildings change the way water moves through a watershed?
Natural land like forests and meadows allows rainwater to soak into the ground slowly, recharging groundwater and reducing flooding. When land is covered with pavement, rooftops, and buildings, water can no longer absorb into the soil. Instead it flows quickly across hard surfaces, picking up pollutants along the way and rushing into nearby streams. This increases flooding, causes stream banks to erode, and reduces the amount of clean groundwater available.
