Abstract

In Nature, precipitation, erosion, and debris transportation and deposition by stream flow combine to produce, in some measure, a physiographical balance which, while not permanent, under goes only gradual changes. This balance is expressed in the topography and cover of the mountain water -shed as well as in that of the flood-plain of a drainage area. Interference with the natural processes of erosion, debris transportation, and disposal of flood waters of the stream of a water-shed by partial or complete regulation, may result in a modification of this physiographical balance to such an extent as to menace existing or future development.
