Ways to Increase water
yields, based -on research by
L’SDA's Forest Sen Ice, are
now being related diiectly to
the special problems of the
municipal watershed manager
ju cooperathe studies on
Newark’s Pequannock water

etty w.iteished. the Secietary
said.
Freeman noted that re
search on Fernow Experimen
tal Forest near Prisons. W.
Va , showed that, depending
on the amount ot timber
leaped, water yields could be
increased b> as much as 140.-
Od(l to 430.000 gallons per

“These savings.” Secretary
Freeman said, “would occur
during the summer season
when water supplies usually
are at a low ebb and water
demands are highest.”
USDA also is seeking ways
of increasing water yield at
the Hubbard Brook Experi
mental Forest near Plymouth,
X H This 7,(100-acre outdoor
laboratory is dedicated to the
solution ot water problems in
New England.
“In other studies, tve are
seeking facts on watersheds
which we hope will enable
communities to make long
range plans tor managing wa
tersheds to fill agricultural,
industrial, and home water
rreeds ” As an example, Free

USDA’s Agricultural Reseaich
