There are a number of lakes in the basin of the Susquehanna, but they are so small in comparison with the immense drainage area of the river that they have but little effect upon the regulation of its flow. Possibilities of artificial storage are good, as dams of compar- atively small cost could be built on some of the upper tributaries and large quantities of water stored. A large part of the drainage area has been cleared of timber, but in the mountain regions of Pennsyl-.
