2. Ski area affects mountain watershed, UVM study shows
   05-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
   In the first-ever study to document the effects of ski resort development on water flows and quality in the northeastern US, University of Vermont researchers studied side-by-side watersheds on Mount Mansfield. Their results show greater-than-expected water volume from the developed watershed, suggesting that models derived from timber extraction studies may underestimate the hydrologic effects of resort development. This study provides baseline data that may contribute to new stormwater management approaches in mountainside development.
