Abstract

This chapter synthesizes watershed research that is relevant to water quality regulatory agencies from the Bull site of the Kings River Experimental Watersheds (KREW) and the adjacent Teakettle Experimental Forest (TEF). The chapter summarizes results of studies and environmental monitoring at these sites on ecological processes and forest management practices affecting water quality, and identifies priority research needs of regulatory agencies that might be met by future work.
