A study of some effects of urbanization on storm runoff from a small watershed
Report

Prepared in the Center for Research in Water Resources at the University of Texas in cooperation with the Texas Water Development Board
By: William Howard Espey Jr., Carl W. Morgan, and Frank D. Masch
The evaluation of the effects of urbanization on the runoff characteristics of a small watershed is a problem that can be studied by either a short-range or a long-range investigation. Because the long-range type of investigation would require several years for hydrologic data accumulation, it cannot provide any immediate information on the changes in watershed behavior arising as a result of urbanization. A short-range investigation, however, based on synthetic evaluation of present data would provide immediate answers. It is in the realm of this short-range objective that this study of a small urban watershed is directed.
