INCREASING WATER SUPPLY THROUGH WATERSHED MANAGEMENT

Pages 85-93 | Published online: 23 Jan 2013
 

Abstract

Watershed management involving the active purposeful manipulation of the vegetation on a watershed to alter its water yield is discussed. The potential for increased water yield associated with various forest cutting practices is explained; and estimates of probable water yield increases in the Oldman River basin of southern Alberta are presented.

La gestion des bassins hydrographiques, y compris la manipulation intentionnelle de la végétation d’un bassin versant en vue de changer son rendement en eau, est discutée. L’augmentation du rendement en eau associée à divers modes de coupe du bois est expliquée par l’auteur qui présente, à titre d’exemple, une évaluation de l’augmentation probable du rendement en eau du bassin de la rivière Oldman dans le sud de l’Alberta.
