Water Quality and Land Use--The Inescapable ConnectionLand use changes water quality. And usually it is for the worst. Imperviousness is perhaps the most powerful measure of our impact on the land. Water quality degrades in direct proportion to the amount of land we pave over or otherwise develop. Poorly planned urban development results in an excess of impervious surfaces, where runoff water quality has little chance to be filtered.Decreasing imperviousness is one of the most important things we can do to maintain and improve water quality associated with urban runoff.
