Especially is this view pertinent in the State of New York,where the Commonwealth has embarked in an expenditure of several million dollarsfor forest conservation. We need, therefore, numerical values of some sort at once inorder to determine approximately what results may be expected from forest conserva-tion in the Adirondack Park as regards influence on streams. While, therefore, thedata herein given are only approximate and the conclusions necessarily tentative, theauthor is still of the opinion that they on the whole do strongly tend to justify theposition that forested areas in the State of New York will yield considerably morewater as run-off in the streams from a given rainfall than will deforested areas.
