Abstract

[Where there is an existing population center in the a lower part of drainage basin, a consideration of new settlement upstream in the drainage basin has to evaluate its possible impact on the established population center downstream. Impacts could include a reduction of water supply or enhanced flood potential as vegetated/forested open areas in the upper reaches of the drainage basin are covered with housing and infrastructure so that water does not soak into the ground but rather runs off into streams/rivers that could cause flood problems in the down-flow areas.]
