Answer)

Impervious surfaces such as parking lots, patios, walkways etc. prevent percolation. That is impervious surfaces prevent water to pass through and hence there is no recharging of soil moisture.

Also, since impervious surfaces do not allow water to soak through, it flows into stream which may lead to steam erosion due to large flows of water.

Hope this helps you !!!
