Influence of Urban Areas on Surface Water Loss in the Contiguous United States

Abstract: Urban development affects the distribution of surface water through direct water abstraction from springs and rivers (Flörke et al., 2018), groundwater exploitation turning into increased infiltration (Wada et al., 2012), land drainage supporting agricultural development (Smedema et al., 2000), and increased evaporation induced by the urban heat island effect (Zhou et al., 2015). In turn, a reduction in the extent of surface water bodies close

“…Surface water losses occur due to a variety of anthropogenic processes, such as increasing water abstraction, groundwater exploitation, land drainage, and increased evaporation, which could occur in urban areas like Karachi and damages freshwater ecosystems (Rodell et al 2018;Palazzoli et al 2022). The Hub Dam has been loosed 2235.2 US Gallons of water per year due to seepage and evapotranspiration.…”
