- W2320050131 abstract "SUMMARY Some impressions gained during the course of a tour of various catchments in England, Scotland, and Wales are recorded. Water supplies in Britain, both domestic and industrial, are in the hands of many separate water undertakings, often planning and acting without liaison with their neighbouring water boards. Their schemes are not co-ordinated at a national level though this has been proposed and is being strongly advocated. Other organizations closely concerned with the water yield or other land use of catchments are the Forestry Commission, the hydro-electricity boards, the Nature Conservancy, and the Water Research Association. Some catchments are wholly owned by the water boards. Afforestation, in the form of plantations of softwoods (mainly larch and Sitka spruce), has been and is being carried out on many catchments. Until recently, criticism of the growing of forests on catchments has come mainly from disgruntled hill sheep farmers and occasionally from individuals or bodies of the public disturbed by the changing scenery. In 1956, Frank Law, engineer to the Fylde Water Board, presented a paper to the British Association for the Advancement of Science, suggesting that growing forests may use a quite significant percentage of the rainfall upon a catchment. This paper promoted much discussion and research into this aspect of the water balance. Other land uses on Britain's catchments are hill sheep farming, grazing and recreation. Forestry promises a greater economic return than grazing (even supported as it is by Government subsidy) though it has yet to be demonstrated what effects the two forms of land use have on water yield and other catchment values. Forestry can make an important contribution to the stability of rural populations by providing healthy employment. Must land use be strictly controlled on water catchments which provide Britain's 51,000,000 people with domestic and industrial water? A two weeks tour covering twelve catchments in England, Scotland, and Wales provided the answer to this and other questions and allowed observation of the role that forestry is playing as a land use. It is hoped this paper may help to put multiple use on Australian catchments in perspective." @default.
