 The study examined land use changes in the Mula and Mother River catchments in Pune, India over a 20-year period from 1989 to 2009. During this time, urban areas increased from 5.1% to 10.1% while croplands increased from 9.7% to 13.5%. These changes had no significant effect on the overall water balance of the catchment, but did result in an increase of water yield in some subcatchments due to urbanization and a decrease of water yield in others due to the increase of croplands.
