1. Introduction
Growth is the key characteristic of all urbanisation processes. As a consequence of growth land is developed, erosion is accelerated, traffic increases, more waste is produced, and the amount of domestic wastewater increases drastically. These agents of urbanisation impose a physical and chemical load to surrounding water bodies, changing the ecosystem and leaving a record of disturbance in the sediments of the water body (Charlesworth and Foster, 1993; Tikkanen et al., 1997).
