From Raindrops To Rivers: Watersheds At Work
![Page 3: Towards Sustainable Watershed Management...Shift from primarily forest cover to mixed use; ~45% agriculture • >5x increase in peak flows – Increase in flood risk – Increase sediment](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041905/5e6333e2d345e94a5e28e477/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Shift from primarily forest cover to mixed use; ~45% agriculture
• >5x increase in peak flows– Increase in flood risk
– Increase sediment loss
– Loss of base flow
– Lower useable flow
– Reduction in reservoir reliability
– Degradation of water quality
– Disruption of groundwater recharge
– etc., etc., etc….
