10 Ecosystem services provided by headwaters Water quality, sediment control Water storage Habitats
11 Headwater ecosystem services Reduced nutrients/pollutants downstream BENEFITS: Reduced water treatment costs, human health risks and degradation of downstream waters
12 Ecosystem services Controls sediment loads downstream BENEFITS: Reduced dredging costs, water treatment costs, and reduce the siltation of larger stream habitats Source: Hunter Nichols
13 Ecosystem services Water storage BENEFITS: Reduced local and downstream flooding
14 Ecosystem services Provides important wildlife habitat BENEFITS: Increased or maintained biological diversity Improved opportunities for hunting and fishing Source: Encyclopedia of Alabama.org

16 Urban alterations to headwater drainage Changed flow patterns to streams Changed velocity Reduced water quality
17 Headwater slope wetlands Landscape position of headwater slope wetlands (from Noble et al. 2007).
18 Forested landscape Headwater slope wetlands Landscape position of headwater slope wetlands (from Noble et al. 2007).
19 Urban landscape Headwater slope wetlands Landscape position of headwater slope wetlands (from Noble et al. 2007).
20 Urban alterations to stream morphology Straightened, cemented or culverted Impoundments Gully formation
21 COE, Yazoo Basin in northwest Mississippi
22 Summary Headwater streams and wetlands are common landscape features that have historically been ignored for their benefits. Headwaters are important for their numerous ecosystem services and societal values. Urban development has been shown to reduce/eliminate their value by altering drainage patterns.
