| Abstract/Description or Keywords |
This report outlines the potential effects of salvage logging (Mountain Pine Beetle infestation) on the water yield and flow regime within Camp Creek watershed, a tributary of Trout Creek. Water yield and flow regime effects were investigated through a US Forest Service water yield analysis procedure which utilizes equivalent clearcut area, elevation, precipitation type, and runoff levels. Even though this information may be dated, it provides some preliminary information into the effects of Pine Beetle infestation within the Trout Creek watershed. There is minimal data directing relating to water supply and demand within Trout Creek watershed, but the results of the investigation suggest increased water yields in the springtime and lower flows in the late summer due to removal of vegetation, which is important to water allocation.surface water, water supply, forest harvest, watershed management, ECA, water yield, peak flow |
