Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating watershed degradation over the last century and its impact on water-treatment costs for the world’s large cities
TL;DR: It is shown that globally urban source watershed degradation is widespread, with 9 in 10 cities losing significant amounts of natural land cover in their source watersheds to agriculture and development, and that anthropogenic activity is highly correlated with sediment and nutrient pollution levels, which is in turnhighly correlated with treatment costs.
