This change in demography has brought land use transformations that have a number documented environmental and landscape-ecological effects. The most consistent and pervasive effect is an increase in impervious surface cover within urban catchments, which alters natural infiltration, runoff of precipitation and hydrology of streams. In addition to imperviousness, runoff from urbanized surfaces as well as municipal and industrial discharges results in increased loadings of contaminants to stream ecosystems. Growing urban areas represent opportunities for ecologists interested in studying disturbance of river ecosystems, soil sealing, and effective landscape management. Water in the urban space has been considered up to now mostly from the perspective of water supply, sewage purification and storm water management, with increasing awareness of the necessity of freshwater ecosystems conservation. However there has been little holistic consideration of the freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems for moderation and control of the hydrological cycle in the city Public work category ADF No. of Archival Copy 27545 Catal.org.
