Abstract

Climatic and hydrologic measurements were made on three watersheds, each containing approximately 2 square miles (5.18 km²) of drainage area, for 9 years under natural forested conditions. This paper describes the watersheds with respect to soils and geology, morphology, vegetation, precipitation and other climatic parameters, and flow, sediment, temperature, and chemistry of streams during this period.

Keywords
