Impact of Urbanization (Trends) on Hydrological Behaviour of Belo Horizonte Watersheds (Brazil)
Abstract The paper presents an analysis of runoff behaviour of four, small urban catchments between the city of Belo Horizonte and Contagem in Brazil, linked to their land-use. Two year of on- line measurements of hydrological and basic water quality data, combined with spatial analysis, made it possible to compare urban catchment with different land use and urbanization and support the generally admitted hypothesis that more dense urbanization generate faster and bigger discharges, accompanied by stronger solid fluxes. These findings contribute to better understanding of the urbanization trends of Pampulha watershed and to predict measures of mitigation if actual trends go on.
