impermeable surfaces  

Definición

  • Impermeable surfaces come in two types: (1) anthropogenic ones and (2) those produced by natural processes. When most people use this term, they are especially concerned with the anthropogenic types of impermeable surfaces that inhibit or prevent ready infiltration of water into the substrate, with the result that the volumes and velocities of overland flow of water increase and floods result.
