Abstract
The forested lands of Colorado include the headwaters of several major rivers and produce large quantities of high quality water. In Colorado, over 50 percent of the population relies on these surface waters as their domestic water supply. These waters also provide for irrigation, livestock, recreation and industrial uses, and provide some of the western United States best fisheries. Given this importance, it is essential that measures be taken by landowners and managers to maintain surface water quality.
