Excerpt from Advance Report on the Sedimentation Survey of Burnt Mills Reservoir, Silver Spring, Maryland: February 22-March 3, 1938
This report is one of a series of advance reports on reservoir-silting investigations made by the Section of Sedimenta tion Studies, Division of Research, Soil Conservation Service. Each reservoir survey is a part of a Nationawide study of the condition of American reservoirs with respect to storage reduction by silting. The ultimate objective of these studies is to deter mine rates and causes of reservoir silting, in order to derive a practical index to (1) the useful-life expectancy of existing or contemplated reservoirs, and (2) differences and changes in regional erosion conditions as influenced both by natural factors and by land use.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the findings of a study on the Burnt Mills Reservoir in Maryland, conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service. The study's aim was to evaluate the rate and causes of reservoir sedimentation, particularly as influenced by soil erosion and land use. The reservoir was found to be experiencing high rates of sedimentation, primarily due to sheet erosion of cultivated uplands and stream-bank erosion. The study emphasizes the importance of implementing soil conservation measures to reduce erosion and protect the reservoir's storage capacity. Additionally, it highlights the significance of considering the ratio of reservoir capacity to watershed area when designing and locating reservoirs to ensure their long-term effectiveness.
