| Abstract |
The two watersheds selected for this study are similar in size, elevation, and topography; but entirely different as to land use. From 1917 to 1970 Sourdough Creek watershed was closed to public use because it has been one of the sources of water for the City of Bozeman. Hyalite Creek watershed has always been open and has been widely used for grazing and recreation. There has been some logging on each watershed. This study was designed to satisfy the following objectives: To help provide answers to the question of whether Sourdough Creek watershed should remain closed to human use. To provide information relative to the effectiveness of current logging techniques in preventing subsequent erosion. To obtain some knowledge of the basic hydrology of the watersheds as an aid to future planning studies on these and on similar watersheds throughout the Pacific-Northwestern United States.
