FORESTS AND STREAM-FLOW
Interesting Subject to be Discussed by Prof. Swain in Pierce 110 at 4.30
Professor George F. Swain, of the department of Engineering, will deliver a lecture before the Forestry Club and the Engineering Society in Pierce 110 at 4.30 o'clock this afternoon. The lecture will be on "The Relation of the Forests to the Flow of Streams," and will be open to members of the University.
Stream-flow as an agent in generating electric power is directly dependent upon good forest-cover for its efficiency. With shade protection snow on the mountains melts gradually and feeds the streams uniformly; where there is no shade, there is a period of flood followed by a period of drought and under these conditions the efficiency of the stream flow is greatly lessened. Professor Swain will discuss the various elements in this relation.
