MANAGEMENT <br />The temperature change that occurs between two <br />points on a stream is directly proportional to ,% <br />the surface area of the stream and the heat <br />load applied between these points. It is <br />inversely proportional to the flow. Good <br />estimates of the heat load can be made with <br />solar radiation data if the stream is uniformly <br />exposed to sunlight. Foresters can use this <br />technique to predict the effect of clear- <br />cutting on stream temperature. <br />78. Brown, G. W. 1972. Logging and water quality FISH <br />in the Pacific Northwest.

MANAGEMENT <br />WATER QUAL. <br />In the past, management of the areas' forested <br />watersheds has focused primarily upon the <br />production of timber. Many of the streams in <br />these watersheds are also the spawning and <br />rearing sites for a valuable anadromous fishery <br />and, in many instances, the source of water for <br />Northwest municipalities. Management of these <br />watersheds is indeed in a state of transition. <br />Recent research findings have shown that clearcut <br />logging can significantly affect stream tempera- <br />ture, and sediment and dissolved oxygen concen- <br />tration. Water quality standards prescribed <br />for interstate waters-are being extended to <br />small, forested streams. <br />41 <br />
