- Interpreting Streamflow Forecasts
-
Each month, five forecasts are issued for each forecast point and each forecast period. Unless otherwise specified, all streamflow forecasts are for streamflow volumes that would occur naturally without any upstream influences. Water users need to know what the different forecasts represent if they are to use the information correctly when making operational decisions. The following is an explanation of each of the forecasts

- Management of Forested Landscapes: Simulations of three alternatives
-
This article compares simulated consequences of three different opinions as if each were imposed on the same forested landscape in the southern Applalachian Mountains. One set of opinions would stop all harvest of timber, another would impose traditional forestry practices, and the third would impose landscape forestry.

- Design of an Orifice and Weir Outlet for Poorly Drained Forested Watersheds
-
Orifice-weir structures at ditch outlets are being used to reduce peak drainage rates and to store water during the growing season in poorly drained managed pine plantations. Earlier studies have shown their effectiveness on reducing drainage outflows while conserving water during the growing season. This study reports on criteria and preliminary guidelines for designing such outlets.
- Current Status and Trends in Timber Severence Tax Legislation in the South
-
Severance tax programs currently exist in eight States in the South. These laws have been enacted primarily to encourage better forest management and to provide rev- enues for a variety of forestry initiatives. In most States, either the severer or the primary processor of forest prod- ucts is designated as the taxpayer. Severance tax rates are established as either: (1) a fixed amount per unit of measurement or (2) a percentage of the value of timber harvested.
