Excerpt from Streamflow After Patch Logging in Small Drainages Within the Bull Run Municipal Watershed, Oregon

Changes in annual water yield, mini mum streamflow, and instantaneous peak flow (the maximum rate of streamflow caused by a rain or snow melt event) are all important in municipal watershed management. If timber cutting can increase water yield, then a municipal watershed might be made to yield more water, particularly during the summer period of low flow. Increased size of peak flows as a result of timber harvest might be associated with not only overland flow and attendant surface erosion but also erosion of stream channels. Both factors could adversely affect water quality.

In 1955, the usda Forest Service and the City of Portland, Oregon, began a cooperative study to determine effects of timber harvest on water yield and timing of runoff and the quality of streamflow in three small watersheds within the Bull Run Municipal Watershed. This report deals only with changes in quantity and timing of streamflow.
