Abstract
Streeter Creek Basin Experiment began as a paired basin experiment studying the effects of woody vegetation removal and rangeland improvements on streamflow. However, complex groundwater systems and inter-basin transfer of subsurface flow negated the paired basin design. The new objective of the research was to determine if tree removal on the upper slopes would impact the contact springs lower in the basin. Snow accumulation was measured in clear-cut patches and the timing of flows and water yield from springs were monitored.
