Beyond total impervious area: a new lumped descriptor of basin-wide hydrologic connectivity for characterizing urban watersheds

<p>Urbanization impacts on hydrologic response are typically indexed as a function of the fraction of total impervious area (TIA), i.e., the proportion of impervious areas in a basin. This implicitly assumes that changes in flood characteristics are somehow proportional to the extents of land...
