A Preliminary Report of the First Year's Effects of Timber Harvesting on Water Yield From a Colorado Watershed (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from A Preliminary Report of the First Year's Effects of Timber Harvesting on Water Yield From a Colorado Watershed
Sediment yield from Year Fool Creek watershed (cu. Ft. Per sq. Mi.) Sediment yield is low and is correlated with discharge. Sediment was measured in place in the sediment basin and the tabulated volumes are wet volumes, including much leaf litter. The dry volumes of mineral matter would be appreciably less.
Visual observations have revealed that since the disturbance of the watershed the stream is visibly, but briefly, turbid during high Spring stages and after the heavier summer rains. Before the watershed treatment, turbidity was never apparent. It is believed that this turbidity is caused by eroded material from roads.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a groundbreaking study that examines the environmental effects of timber harvesting. The author analyzes the impact of removing half of the mature trees from a snow-fed stream watershed in the Colorado Rockies, providing valuable insights into the relationship between forest management and water yield. Through detailed observations and data analysis, the book explores the immediate changes in streamflow, sediment yield, snow accumulation, and spring flood patterns. The findings challenge conventional assumptions and offer a nuanced understanding of the complex interactions between forest ecosystems and water resources. By shedding light on the consequences of timber harvesting, this book contributes to the ongoing dialogue surrounding sustainable land management practices and the preservation of Earth's vital watersheds.
