%X In natural, undeveloped areas, a large percentage of 
relatively uncontaminated precipitation infiltrates the 
ground, thus recharging the ground water; the remaining 
runoff flows to nearby water bodies or evaporates. 
 
Development alters natural systems as vegetation and open 
spaces are replaced with new areas of impervious surfaces 
such as roads, parking lots, roofs, and turf, which greatly 
reduce infiltration and thus ground water recharge. 
Uncontrolled stormwater runoff develops into Floods , even 
in normal intensity of rainfall causing loss of water recharge 
levels. The main carriers of water that is the natural 
Drainages ar either blocked completely of partially or forced 
to change their direction, in the process of Urbanization.
