Overview of urban drainage impacts on aquatic habitat [electronic resource] / by Jiri Marsalek. [Burlington, Ont]. : Environment Canada, National Water Institute, [2005]. 10 p. NWRI contribution ; no. 05-163 Digitized edition from print [produced by Environment and Climate Change Canada]. Cover title. Includes bibliographic references. "Urban drainage impacts on aquatic habitat are discussed under five major headings affecting the biological community performance: food (energy) sources, water quality, habitat structure, flow regime, and biotic interactions. Among these factors, perhaps the best understood one is stormwater quality. On the other hand-, the changes in the (physical) aquatic habitat structure resulting from urbanization and stormwater discharges are the least understood and require further study. Promising approaches to mitigating the adverse drainage impacts on habitat include preservation of natural drainage features, sustainable development or redevelopment of urban areas, and balanced applications of stormwater management practices"--p. 1. gccst Aquatic ecosystems gccst Water management gccst Urban development Canada.
