The Effects of Clear-Cut Logging on a Watershed
Watershed: the larger system made up of streams, lakes, rivers, and other bodies of water:
Activity: Exploring the Workings of a Watershed Materials (to build the model watershed):
A home-built watershed.
Procedure:
**Remove saturated trees, and replace with half as many
new ones. Shower with I L of water. **
What do you think will happen? Observe.
Record the level of water in the pond: mm
Conclusion:
-Everything that happens in a watershed will eventually effect the workings of the watershed downstream. We must be careful with our watersheds, in order to ensure a safe living environment downstream.
