Kansas Stream - Fact of the Month

Under urban conditions, when watersheds become increasingly covered with impervious surfaces such as houses, streets, parking lots, and other forms of urban development, storm water runoff increases along with bank full flow frequency.   Addition runoff that occurs from rainfall events increases bank full flow, which often causes an increase in channel width and/or depth.

S. Army Corps of Engineers, Kansas Department of Agriculture - Division of Water Resources, Kansas Forest Service, State Conservation Commission, U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Environmental Protection Agency, and other resources.
