Providing a comprehensive literature review, Land Use Effects on Streamflow and Water Quality in the Northeastern United States presents the principles that define and govern interactions between land activities and conditions in streams, lakes, and estuaries, offering an overview of hydrologic processes and key watershed characteristics. Focusing on the importance of the physical environment as a source of variation in stream response, the text emphasizes how general principles operate within the context of local conditions. It also examines streamflow and water quality effects of specific land uses, including forest management, agriculture, urban development, and cumulative effects.
