Consider a humid temperate region such as western Oregon and Washington. In planning
development that would convert forest land to suburban housing, which of the following is NOT
likely to be an effect that should be considered & accommodated? (Think of the storm
hydrograph, before and after development.) Peak runoff will occur later, and flood flows will be
lower Storm runoff volume and velocity would increase Groundwater recharge would be reduced
Runoff will shift from subsurface stormflow to Horton overland flow Lag time will be shorter
and peak discharge greater.
