| Abstract: |
This paper examines the impacts of urbanization on the Little Miami River Basin. Flood frequencies of an urbanizing town (Milford) and a rural area (Perintown) were analyzed based on the historical discharge data. Water samples were collected for chemical analyses and bioassays were conducted to determine the effects of runoff on seed germination and root development. The results of this study indicate that watershed urbanization has caused more frequent floods, poorer water quality and vegetation growth. |
