Similar results occurred in a watershed in West Virginia where deforestation of half of the watershed changed the stream from intermittent to perennial flow (Patric and Reinhart, 1971~. Surface disturbance by logging operations can reduce infiltration and increase runoff (Lull and Reinhart, 1972)

Short vegetation often has less interception and a more shallow root system than does forest. These effects could lead to greater soil water drainage and enhanced ground water recharge.
