FOREST RESEARCH RELEASES SALMON | STREAM FLOW DATA | First year measurements of wat- erflow patterns on four streams in Kasaan Bay on Prince of Wales Is- land recently released by the For- est Research Center, Juneau, takern | lin study of the effect of logging| on salmen spawning streams, show that the salmon streams are char- |acterized by marked fluctuation in flow and recurring fall floods. The measurements indicate also that in this region of heavy rain- fall, watersheds remain almost con- | tinually saturated. Because of this, |the watersheds have little extra storage capacity during the sea- sons of heaviest rainfall, hence fall| | floods are normal. Total rainfall on the watersheds of streams without sizeable lakes | |drains within a few hours after it falls. The heaviest rainfails of the wpast, year were steady prolongad | downpours characteristic of the fall | storms in southeast Alaska. Rain-| fall in southeast Alaska is not of | the cloudburst type and thunder- | storms are uncommon. Flow patterns for three of the | streams without lakes are nearly | identical.
