Effects

Failure to properly manage runoff can lead to floodingcan causegreater stream channel erosion

runoffcausingstream erosion and degradation of stream

Increased runoff rates due to removal of vegetation , soil compaction and construction of roads and other impervious surfacescan causestream bank erosion

flow fluctuations driven by storm events as well as by stream maintenance measures , such as woody debris removal(passive) is caused byStream bank erosion

three variablesinfluencethe rate of stream erosion

When land use changes , such as clearing land for agriculture , occur in a watershed , runoff increases and thus the stream channel adjusts to accommodate the additional flowcausingstream bed erosion

increases in runoff during rainfall events tendto causestream channel erosion
