“…78 Modeling shows that higher density development patterns can reduce peak flows and total runoff volumes. 79 With less groundwater recharge, communities that depend on groundwater for their drinking water-about onethird of U.S. communities 80 -may face shortages. Water quality may be affected in several ways.…”

“…Measuring surface sealing is an important issue when studying flood control and urban hydrology (Jennings and Jarnagin, 2002;Jennings et al, 2004). It is no surprise that the evolution of sprawl and semi-urban areas is narrowly followed by hydrologists (Gillies et al, 2003;Hall, 1989;Hoggan, 1989;Pauleit et al, 2005;Shaw, 1988;Zheng and Baetz, 1999).…”

Urbanization is a well-known topic in sustainable development debates as it is known to have great impacts on landscape and environment. Low density, apparently random, scattered or fragmented and leap frogging forms of urban land use, not classified as core urban fabric (town, city, . . . ) nor classified as real 'countryside' are studied in this paper. With a thorough literature study of more than 200 publications, a number of interesting conclusions about this important environmental and socio-economical phenomenon can be made. At first, it is generally described as either a type of land use or land use dynamic functioning as 'divide' between city and countryside (the urban fringe theory), or it is very often described as the dynamic and fast transformation of rural land into urban land (the sprawl approach). In some cases it forms its own 'landscape' and it is called the peri-urban or more correctly semi-urban area. Generally, there seems to be a lack of good definitions and frameworks, although it is studied often and in various scientific disciplines. Prominently, there is an always present dichotomy between rural and urban in all concepts, theories and definitions proposed.

“…Hydrologic analysis to link runoff characteristics with land use are often based on coefficients associated with land cover classifications, such as the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) curve number/Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) curve number (Moglen and Casey 1998;Zheng and Baetz 1999). A variety of hydrologic models have incorporated these or similar empirical coefficients to develop estimates of runoff production such as TR-55 (NRCS 2002) and HecHMS (U.S. Army Corp of Engineers 2006).…”
