10% or More of Pavement in a Watershed Spells Trouble
- "A variety of studies during the past decade converge on a central point: When more than ten percent of the acreage of a watershed is covered in roads, parking lots, rooftops, and other impervious surfaces, the rivers and streams within the watershed become seriously degraded." Excerpt from the Pew Oceans report, "Coastal Sprawl: The Effects of Urban Design on Aquatic Ecosystems in the United States" at http://www.pewoceans.org/articles/2002/04/25/brief_25978.asp
