2. Infiltration Rates Associated with Green Space Loss and Urbanization By Heidi Keller and Richard Morse

3. Outline Introduction Methods and Procedures Collection of Data Results Conclusions

4. AS AN AREA BECOMES URBANIZED, INFILTRATION DECREASES.

6. LOCATION MAP EAST AVE BROOKS AVE

7. Urbanized Surfaces

8. HOW DO INFILTRATION RATES EFFECT RUNOFF ? When Rates Are Lower, Run Off Is Higher

10. HOW DO INFILTRATION RATES DIFFER ON URBANIZED SURFACES? As Compaction Increases, Infiltration Decreases. As Traffic On An Area Increases, Less Water Is Absorbed Into The Soil.

12. CONCLUSIONS Vegetation Increases Infiltration Controls Runoff Compaction Leads To Less Infiltration The Public Should Know About This
