Rural Rivers and the Impact of Rural Development on Rivers and Water Supply
Abstract
A simulation model, WASHMO, is used to illustrate how development influenced flood peaks and volumes for the 1:50 year event. The impact of storm water on the channel, and the water quality of rivers are discussed. Suggestions are made for better storm water control.References
