Barnes, F: Advance Report on the Sedimentation Survey of Bur

Excerpt from Advance Report on the Sedimentation Survey of Burnt Mills Reservoir, Silver Spring, Maryland: February 22-March 3, 1938

This report is one of a series of advance reports on reservoir-silting investigations made by the Section of Sedimenta tion Studies, Division of Research, Soil Conservation Service. Each reservoir survey is a part of a Nationawide study of the condition of American reservoirs with respect to storage reduction by silting. The ultimate objective of these studies is to deter mine rates and causes of reservoir silting, in order to derive a practical index to (1) the useful-life expectancy of existing or contemplated reservoirs, and (2) differences and changes in regional erosion conditions as influenced both by natural factors and by land use.
