Title	Management impacts on water quality of forests and rangelands.
Creator	Binkley, Dan.
Contributor	Brown, Thomas C. (Thomas Capnor), 1945- ;<br> Rosenthal, Donald H. ;<br> Rocky Mountain Forest and Range Experiment Station (Fort Collins, Colo.)
Description	This report compiles information about the effect of management practices on water quality in forests and rangelands. Following an overview of water quality concerns in Chapter 1 and a description of basic forest and rangeland hydrology wand water quality processes in Chapter 2, we summarize what has been learned about the effects of land management practices on nonpoint source pollution at generally small experimental forest and rangeland sites in the United States. The final chapter describes laws affect forest and rangeland water quality and the use of best management practices to protect water quality. The quality of water from forested watersheds is typically very good, even on disturbed and managed sites. At most sites, forest practices lead to minimal impacts on water quality and do not seriously impair fish habitat or water supplies. However, at more sensitive sites, special care is required. Existing best management practices protect forest water quality. Most states have active programs to promote the use of such practices. Unlike forest practices, impacts of grazing on water quality have received little careful study, and few states have specified best management practices to control grazing impacts. Future study is needed to improve the specification of best management practices for site specific forest situations.
