- Abstract
The article discusses the modeling approach of researchers John S. Jacob and Ricardo Lopez on the relationship between development density and downstream water quality. The author says that the modeling presented by Jacob and Lopez to support the conclusion that the per capita water quality impacts of urban development decrease significantly with population density is based on questionable assumptions. He emphasizes his concerns about the assumptions used to support such conclusion. He stresses that Jacob and Lopez fail to consider that urban development often occurs on former agricultural lands.
