<br />. <br /> <br />FOREWORD <br /> <br />Urbanization-the concentration of people in urban areas and the <br />consequent expansion of these areas-is a characteristic of our time. It has <br />brought with it a host of new or aggravated problems that often make new <br />demands on our natural resources and our physical environment. Problems <br />involving water as a vital resource and a powerful environmental agent are <br />among the most critical. These problems include the maintenance of both <br />the quantity and quality of our water supply for consumption, for <br />recreation, and general welfare and the alleviation of hazards caused by <br />floods. drainage. erosion. and sedimentation. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />A prerequisite to anticipating. recognizing. and coping intelligently with <br />these problems is an adequate base of information. This series of reports is <br />intended to show the relevance of water facts to water problems of urban <br />areas and to examine the adequacy of the existing base of water information. <br /> <br />6 .;( .7ct"d~,;'j",,-.! <br /> <br />E.
