| Abstract/Description or Keywords | This note outlines the estimation of peak flow return periods (2, 10, and 50) with increased clearcut logging activity through the use of the Distributed Hydrologic Soil Vegetation Model. The results find that for Upper Penticton Creek, peak flows were less than 50% regardless of the amount of forest cover removed. forest harvest, peak flow |
