Urbanization is the process of turning green field sites into developments, eg building in the countryside. infiltration is rain water soaking into the ground and eventually ending up in rivers over a period of days. Once the site has been developed the site is now inpermeable so therefore the rain runs of the surface quickly without soaking into the ground to get to the rivers in hours or even minutes causing the hydrograph to peak higher and sharper ( more water in less time), so therefore the natural river channel is normally over whelm by the rain fall and flooding occurs

How does urbanization paving etc affect runoff and infiltration in a small previously forested drainage basin?
Infiltration decreases; runnoff increases
What is the difference between infiltration and seepage?
infiltration is strictly downward motion in the direction of gravity while seepage can be in any direction.
What is the difference between an infiltration rate and a hydraulic conductivity?
It seems that infiltration rate is a soil parameter which is determined in the field with all soil aspects. However, hydraulic conductivity is determined in the lab and it is not typically illustrated soil permiability as compared with infiltration rate
What is the difference between infiltration and runoff?
infiltration is different because when it happens the rain soaks underground it doesn't fall back into bodies of water like runoff does.
