Stream Flow and Afforestation of Water Catchments

E.H.M. HARRIS, Forest Officer 1 and P.J.L. WYLLIE, Hydrologist

Trees in catchment areas are believed to affect the supply of water to reservoirs. Increased flooding has been noticed where extensive modern drainage has been practised. Stream-flow measurements were recorded over a short period in the headwaters of the Conway in autumn 1967 and run-off from a recently planted area was initially faster than from closed woodland and very much faster than from an unplanted (and undrained) site.
