EXPERIENCE (continued) <br />Historical and future impacts of vegetation management and natural disturbance on water yield from <br />Forest Service Lands in the South Platte River Basin. 2007 <br />7he impact of Forest Service activities on the stream flow regime in the Platte River. 2003 <br />Estimating additional water yield from changes in management of National Forests in the North Platte <br />Basin. 2000 <br />7hese 3 reports discuss the historical range in variability of water yield and the consequence of present <br />and future National Forest System (NFS) management activities and natural disturbance from fire and <br />insects on water yield from the Platte River Basin. These reports are relevant because the Central Platte <br />River is dependent upon water yield derived from catchments on National Forest Systems Land, <br />particularly the spring flood flows which scour vegetation from mid-channel bars. The 2007 report <br />focuses primarily on the South Platte but does include an analysis on the potential effect of bark beetle <br />kill of lodgepole pine forests in both North and South Platte Basins. The 2000 report was funded by the <br />US Bureau of Reclamation while the 2003 and 2007 reports were funded by the US Forest Service. <br />Lead Author (METI Contractor) : C. A.
