1 The Effect of Urbanization to the surface-water runoff The comparison between the urbanized and undeveloped zones

2 Outline Objective/Study area Data Sources Backgrounds Map Creation Analysis Question

3 1. Build a Basemap of the City of Austin 2. Apply the precipitation data (time- series) on the study areas 3. Compare the flow pattern in regards to the land cover Objective

4 Study Areas The Shoal Creek The Barton Creek
