Physical Effects of Wet Weather Flows on Aquatic Habitats: Present Knowledge and Research Needs

Wet weather flows from urban areas can change the physical properties of aquatic habitats, particularly streams, and lead to loss of aquatic life. This report explores current state of knowledge about these effects and makes recommendations for further research. After conducting a wide-ranging literature review, the project team identified knowledge gaps, examined the quantity and quality of current data, and recommended future research studies.
