Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Geography / Earth
Science - Physical Georgraphy, Geomorphology, Environmental
Studies, printed single-sided, grade: A, Swedish University of
Agricultural Sciences (Department of Aquatic Sciences and
Assessment), language: English, abstract: This report investigates
the relationship between the degree of imperviousness - surface
sealing - and the water balance - surface runoff,
evapotranspiration and infiltration. It synthesizes case studies
for the cities Leipzig, Dessau and Munich in Germany and the
Grote-Nete catchment in Belgium and compares the effect of
different urban land uses on the water balance. The annual
precipitation ranges from 530 to 950 mm. Depending on the
respective hydrological properties and land use characteristics a
linear increase of surface runoff with increasing degree of
imperviousness could be found for all of the German studies.
Evapotranspiration and infiltration decline with an increasing
degree of imperviousness. The relationship for both is not distinct
as for surface runoff. The impact on the water balance does not
significantly deviate for different levels of precipitation.
