Workman Creek Watershed - Treatments and Practices

A status-of-knowledge publication presented the results of the water yield improvement experiments and other research conducted on the watersheds through the early 1970s (Rich and Thompson 1974). This publication reported on the opportunities for increasing water yields and other multiple use values in mixed conifer forests. Many of these results were later refined, expanded upon, and subsequently reported on in other publications. A brief discussion of the results is presented in the cited literature.
