For most proposed land development projects, pre- and post-development watershed drainage patterns are typically evaluated to determine if substantial hydrologic alterations are proposed that will result in which of the following?
  1. Changes to groundwater recharge
  2. Changes to water regime within a given resource area
  3. Increase runoff from the area
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer: D - For most proposed land development projects, pre- and post-development watershed drainage patterns are compared to determine if substantial hydrologic alterations will be made to the watershed’s groundwater recharge, water regime, and area runoff. The drainage patterns reviewed include the surface and subsurface paths of water entering, crossing, and leaving the site. Additionally, areas where water is stored within the project site are also evaluated for pre- and post-construction conditions.
