FORESTS AND METEOROLOGY.

waters which fall tho around. and thus favor the
growth of springs and of underground waters. 2.
In forest region the ground receives a. much and
moro water under Of tho trees than tho un-
covered ground Of regions with httio no wood.
g. The of the trees OF forest diminishes to
o large degree the evaporation Of the water
ceived by the ground. and thus contributes to tho
maintenance of tho moisture Of the latter and
to the regularity of the how Of water sources. 4.
