Summary
• Hydromodification is a vital issue in the urbanizing West, especially in areas with geologic or geomorphic disturbance.
• Solutions are often best approached from geologic perspective:– Recognizing the one-time nature of channel adjustment – Based on intensive field work in disturbed landscapes.
• Value of baseline data – flow, sediment, channels.
• Solutions should spring from watershed perspective and work with site conditions.

Upstream, non-urbanized station (TCEM)
Downstream, urbanized station (TCQR)
Note that the flow axis is logarithmic
Unit flow means that flow has been scaled by watershed area for each
stream gage location.
Watershed Area:TCQR = 17.4 sq.mi.TCEM = 2.3 sq.mi.
