5. effects: Loss of stream base flow, riparian wetlands, groundwater recharge and flood attenuation

6. effects: Erosion and transport of nutrient-rich legacy sediments to the coastal plain and coastal waters

7. effects: degradation and loss of habitat –species - biodiversity 6th Great Extinction- Holocene Extinction
