Selective tree thinning in the Santa Fe Municipal Watershed for water yield augmentation

Water scarcity in southwestern United States is nothing new. It has been an issue since the southwest\u27s earliest settlements. However, this problem has gained increased notoriety due to greater demands on the finite resource . Increasing population and competing demands on water resources require new solutions to water scarcity. The threat of surface and underground water depletion has even catalyzed another round of experimentation in cloud seeding, one method, no matter how far-fetched, for augmenting supplies. Conservation programs have reduced domestic water usage by minimizing inefficient water usage, but few address the realistic possibilities of increasing water supplies. Tree thinning will increase water supplies and will concurrently return the forest to their natural densities and ensure watershed productivity. National Forest lands represent 8 percent of the contiguous U.S. land area and contribute 14 percent of the runoff. In the eleven western states, an even greater percentage (20%) of the land area lies within the National Forests. Waters originating from Forest Service lands are of the highest quality, unaffected by many anthropogenic elements. In addition, these lands constitute the largest single source of fresh water in the United States. Furthermore, in the west, federal lands contribute more than sixty percent of the West\u27s water supplies, and nearly eighty percent of that originates from National Forests. Locally, National Forest Service lands in New Mexico yield 29% of the total runoff flows in the state. However, overly dense stands are common on National Forest lands and impact those flows

Certificate

of B.E Computer Engineering class have submitted their project write-up on Node Listing Based Global Data Flow Analysis. This is a result of their own efforts in collecting information from various sources, assimilating it, deriving new information from experimentation and reasoning and presenting it in this format. We certify that they have completed the project work to our satisfaction
