Storm study finds mined watersheds shift peak runoff
Study notes Ballard Fork area not in storm impact zone but uses three gauged sites to compare mined and unmined tributaries. Data suggest during light rains unmined forests produce higher peak flows, while during intense West Virginia summer storms mined watersheds show much greater peaks, possibly due to valley fill.
