1 (1981) stated that management of 4.1 million acres of chaparral in the Southwest could increase potential water yield between 1-5 inches. Additionally, Schmidt and Solomon (1981) concluded that type conversion of chaparral could increase future water yield by 60 to 70 percent in parts of Arizona. * Reported percentages are often misleading, especially when applied to very small runoff amounts in terms of ineaningful water yield increases. • Pinyon-Juniper -- Most studies indicate that water yield increases from pinyon juniper management is poor (Clary et al., 1974, Hibbert, 1979, 1981, and 1983). Minimal precipitation, shallow soils, and replacement vegetation account for the scant response of pinyon juniper type conversion and water yield augmentation. • Sagebrush -- Conversion of big sagebrush to other vegetation can increase water yield by 15 percent* (inches?) under favorable conditions (Sturges, 1975). Hibbert (1981) estimated a 0-1 inch potential water yield increase from 17.6 million acres of big sagebrush in the Upper Colorado River Basin. Snowfencing and the redistribution of snow by wind improves snowmelt flows and increase runoff in sagebrush regions (Leaf, 1975). * Reported percentages are often misleading, especially when applied to very small runoff amounts in terms of ineaningful water yield increases. • Alpine Zone -- Water yield augmentation in the alpine zone primarily focuses on the use of snowfences and increasing snowdrifts (Martinelli, 1975, Troendle, 1983). The resulting increased snowpack in high elevations will affect the overall snow water equivalent and the timing and quantity of runoff. • Eastern Hardwoods -- Douglass (1983) found that water yield augmentation has excellent potential in the Eastern United States due to high rainfall and dense forests. Studies conducted on the Coweeta experimental watershed indicate a range of water yield increases from 6- 16 inches depending on the amount of treatment and the direction the slope faced (Swank and Crossley, 1988). Results from the Fernow Experimental Forest show that forest cutting increased streamflow by as much as 5 inches (Reinhart et al. 1963) on certain treated watersheds. While yield increases were directly related to the percentage of vegetation removed, growing season increases were larger than those found for the dormant season (Kochenderfer et al. 1990). Hornbeck et al. (1997) summarized decades of research on the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest whereby three different hardwood watersheds were either clearcut, strip cut, or completely cleared and treated with herbicides. Results indicate a 6 inch, 4.5 inch, and an 11 inch increase in respective water yields. Experiments showed
