Synopsis
Excerpt from The Diminished Flow of the Rock River in Wisconsin and Illinois: And Its Relation to the Surrounding Forests
While the changes thus far observed in the flow of the Rock River appear not to have been so great as to cause serious apprehension, the interests affected are sufficiently important to give to the question of the conditions on which the river flow depends and the possible means of preventing further decrease a decided local significance. It was in consequence of an expressed desire on the part of citizens of the parts of Wisconsin and Illinois involved that the investigation of this question was originally undertaken by the Bureau of Forestry.
The special problem in stream flow presented by the Rock River watershed is rather simple in character, and the main facts can be compassed in a brief report. But in view of the general interest that attaches to the subject of water flow, that part of the report dealing with the influence of the forest cover has been extended so as to include certain suggestive results of recent observations made in Europe. In the light of the facts thus established it is also possible to draw more definite conclusions than could be arrived at by any study of local conditions which it was practicable to make.
The writer wishes to express his obligations to the following gentle men who have rendered assistance in this investigation: The Hon. R. R. Hitt, Representative in Congress for the Ninth district of Illi nois, at whose request the investigation was undertaken; Prof. Thomas C. Chamberlin, of the University of Chicago, and Prof. C. R. Van Hise and Mr. C. K. Leith, of the University of W'isconsin.

The Diminished Flow of the Rock River in Wisconsin and Illinois
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history and influence of forests on water flow using the Rock River watershed as a case study. The watershed is favorable to a steady water supply due to its favorable geology and topography. The author explores the changes to forested areas since the region was settled, including the loss of trees and the introduction of cultivated land, woodlots, and urban areas. These changes have impacted the flow of the river, and along with decreased rainfall, have caused fluctuations in volume. The author notes that while diminished rainfall may have somewhat lessened the volume of river flow, the fluctuations are primarily caused by artificial drainage and changes to forest conditions in the region.
