Water, wood, range, recreation, and wildlife F-84-84-E -the renewable National Forest resources. years to come are water, timber, range, and recreation and wildlife habitat. Their intensive development and management is truly a conservation program of great significance to the continued develop- ment, prosperity, and welfare of the Nation. Water Resources In continuing their role as regulator of waterflows, National Forest watersheds will continue to be managed in accord with two principal long-range objectives: (a) protection of the watershed by stabilizing the soil and thereby preserving and improving water quality; and (b) management of the area to increase the quantity of water. Protection of the watershed and water quality will continue to be a primary objective. Quantity of water yielded will receive major consideration in the multiple-use management of National Forests. To accomplish these objectives, an accelerated program of water- shed management, rehabilitation, and protection will need to be carried out, including the application of new methods and practices as they are developed and proved. Program proposals for the 10-year period include: 1. More intensive management activities to assure full pro- tection of the hydrologic condition of watersheds in the manage- ment and use of other resources. Management plans for other resources that involve manipulation of plant cover will ade- quately consider watershed management Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original United States.
