How human land uses impact stream? Dirt footpaths increase erosion excessive soil erosion along bank runoff causing severe erosion and gullies, washing sed and trash soil erosion off of road to creek sewage + trash in stream, piles of trash downstream of bridge trash raw sewage and trash washed into creek abundant trash in creek impact water quality blocks fish migration soil washing into creek   dam modifies water flow     increases soil erosion       trash in creek, streambank erosion in places   road salt, petrochemicals   increasing soil erosion             enhancing soil erosion   increase soil erosion increase water temperature and soil erosion     excess runoff thru drain pipe; reduced riparian buffer               cause erosion, may add nutrients and trash to the stream vegetation removal increases streambank erosion   increased erosion, addition of road salt   removing riparian vegetation increases erosion and water temperature     stream exposed to full sunlight lack of riparian zone & lack of fish migration   How human land uses impact stream?
