Abstract
The effect on stream flow of changes in forest and brush cover on specifio natural areas is described in this paper. An experiment by the United State Forest Service and the United States Weather Bureau was conducted from 1910 to 1926 on two contiguous tracts of land in Southern Colorado. Data for this study were taken from a report3 by Messrs. C. G. Bates and A. J. Henry. Stream flow measurements by the United States Geological Survey in co-operation with the State of California and the County of Los Angeles were begun in 1916 on certain areas in California, on some of which accidental denudation by burning afforded opportunity for comparisons not heretofore published. Detailed observations were made in both these areas for several years before changes in cover were accomplished by cutting and by fire, and were continued for several years after such changes.
