Watershed and Reservoir Management
Because the nation depends upon streams for the great bulk of its water supply, this article provides a brief overview of their origin and of the many factors that influence them. Also, the function of watersheds is discussed as that of intercepting and converting large amounts of rain and snow to streamflow. The article presents Utah as an example of the immensely important relationship between publicly owned watershed lands and water yield, where nearly 80 per cent of the streamflow or manageable water supply is produced from about 20 per cent of the state's land area. The need for applying conservation practices to the management of watersheds is discussed.
