But being thrown up, they vegetate.
The widths of pavements were also reduced and Vegetated areas were increased, such as planted road verges.
The investigators found that after snow melt,
urban runoff returns to being strongly controlled by the proportion of built-up versus Vegetated surfaces, which can absorb water.
The amplitude of floods increased by a factor of eight-
and sometimes even by a factor of 14- and Vegetated landscapes may have been replaced by arid,
pebbly plains.
It is often mistaken for the jungle babbler, whose range overlaps in parts of southern India, although it
has a distinctive call and tends to be found in more Vegetated habitats.
Buildings in areas where Vegetated roofs would confer the greatest social value-
because the particular area has the most pressing need to control stormwater runoff or its residents are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of the urban heat island- will be granted more substantial abatements than roofs in other areas.
