Watershed impervious surfaces impact

As impervious cover increases, the quality of the water within the watershed generally decreases if it’s not properly managed, according to watershed consultant Andres Torizzo. "Where we are right now in Dorothea, right at that 10 percent, we’re right at that track going down, so really it’s a good opportunity at this point to really start looking at ways to better manage the runoff in the watershed so we don’t slide in the red zone where things are really going to be impacted," he said.
