Cause and effect relationship, clearing-erosion-flooding,
Whitemud River Watershed, Manitoba; winter C (date: 5-1-74),
spring melt A (23-4-74) and summer B (16-6-74) can be
compared with fall 73 D (18-9-73). Note the snowcovered high
plateau (A: 1) and the inundated farmlands (A: 2). B shows
erosion (B: 1) on steep slopes cleared of tree cover.
Cleared slopes cause rapid run-off in spring and contribute
to flooding.
Springmelt inundation of sedge wetlands, Interlake, Manitoba.
E, band 5, shows fall (15-8-73) conditions; light tones in
between darker drumlines are wetlands. F, band 7, shows
the inundation areas during snowmelt (23-4-74).
