“…In contrast, the hydraulic efficiency of stormwater drainage via constructed pipes and channels will probably convey such effects efficiently with little or no attenuation to a stream (Shuster et al 2005). This article further extends an earlier analysis of runoff relationships with permeable areas in a case study in central Israel (Goldshleger et al 2009) by adding a GIS analysis of changes in urban drainage density. Such an understanding might be achieved by modelling the influence of drainage network on urban runoff flow, based on GIS analysis (Zheng and Baetz 1999) and developing extended databases of detailed spatiotemporal information.…”

This paper describes the relationship between urban road network density and urban runoff coefficient in the coastal plain of Israel. The study assessed 30 years of recorded changes in rainfall-runoff coefficient in an urban catchment in the coastal plain of Israel. Rain and runoff were measured and sampled at measurement stations. Insight into the factors affecting urban runoff was gained by applying GIS and remote-sensing analysis, including street network density assessment and urban impermeable area recognition. Street network density was found to be a reliable indicator for both urban impermeability (R 2 ¼ 0.83) and runoff (R 2 ¼ 0.92) change dynamics, showing a strong linear correlation. Thus the urban street drainage network can help explain the dynamics of change in urban runoff. To prevent urban flooding hazards, and to help conserve water resources, regional planners should take into consideration road network density in built-up areas.

“…These results are in agreement with previous findings that runoff coefficients can increase almost linearly with increasing imperviousness (Melanen and Laukkanen, ; Hogland, ; Boyd et al ., ; Schueler, ). It has also been shown that a major change in the runoff coefficient can occur when imperviousness reaches 20–40% of the total land area (Goldshleger et al ., ). However, in our study, a major change in runoff coefficients took place between the two most urbanized catchments with 89% and 62% of the soils sealed.…”

“…Also, Goldshleger et al . () showed that changes in runoff coefficients occur when imperviousness exceeds 20%. However, even relatively small changes in land use can bring about alterations in the hydrology and ecology at a given catchment.…”

The impacts of land use intensity, here defined as the degree of imperviousness, on stormwater volumes, runoff rates and their temporal occurrence were studied at three urban catchments in a cold region in southern Finland. The catchments with ‘High’ and ‘Intermediate’ land use intensity, located around the city centre, were characterized by 89% and 62% impervious surfaces, respectively. The ‘Low’ catchment was situated in a residential area of 19% imperviousness. During a 2‐year study period with divergent weather conditions, the generation of stormwater correlated positively with catchment imperviousness: The largest annual stormwater volumes and the highest runoff coefficients and number of stormwater runoff events occurred in the High catchment. Land use intensity also altered the seasonality of stormwater runoff: Most stormwater in the High catchment was generated during the warm period of the year, whereas the largest contribution to annual stormwater generation in the Low catchment took place during the cold period. In the two most urbanized catchments, spring snow melt occurred a few weeks earlier than in the Low catchment. The rate of stormwater runoff in the High and Intermediate catchments was higher in summer than during spring snow melt, and summer runoff rates in these more urbanized catchments were several times higher than in the Low catchment. Our study suggests that the effects of land use intensity on stormwater runoff are season dependent in cold climates and that cold seasons diminish the differences between land use intensities.

This study presents an analysis of the quality of urban runoff from various land uses by remote‐sensing and GIS technology coupled with hydrological and chemical monitoring. The study areas were located in the cities of Herzliya and Ra′anana, in Israel′s coastal plain, where extensive urbanization has occurred over the last 30 years. Land uses in urban basins were analysed; rain and runoff were measured and sampled at measurement stations representing different land uses (residential, industrial, commercial and roads). The aim was to analyse uses by different remote‐sensing and GIS techniques, to evaluate the quality of urban storm water from various land uses and to verify a method for predicting the impact of urban land uses on the quantity and quality of urban storm water. The quality of urban storm water from residential areas was generally very high, and the water is suitable for reuse or direct recharge into the local aquifer. In light of the serious state of the Israeli water sector and the large amounts of unused runoff produced by Israel′s cities, together with the high quality of urban storm water drained from the residential areas, it is important to exploit this water source.
