Deforestation and Hydrology: Impact on Headwater Flows and Downstream Discharges
Offered By: AGU via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the critical relationship between deforestation and hydrology in this thought-provoking discussion from the 2018 Chapman Conference on Hydrologic Research. Delve into the hypothesis that deforestation of 30% of headwater sub-basins significantly impacts downstream discharges by increasing headwater flows. Led by Guy Schumann, this 40-minute session offers valuable insights into the complex interplay between forest cover and water systems, providing a platform for researchers and professionals to engage with cutting-edge hydrologic concepts and their environmental implications.
