NATIONAL NEWS
Making the Connection Between Drinking Water and Forests
(Frederick,
MD)- Forests capture rainfall and replenish and cleanse our water
supply. These processes are widely accepted in the scientific
community, yet they have not really been translated into the language
that most often drives planning and land use decisions at the local
level: dollars. So the Center for Watershed Protection is in the
process of reviewing existing literature on the costs and benefits
of forests for protecting drinking water quality, and conducting a
pilot study.
