Description: ...Summarizes the water problems of Massachusetts and indicates the role of hydrologic research in solving problems related to yield of watersheds; describes the techniques and results of research on the application of energy budget and mass transfer methods to evaporation measurement at Quabbin Reservoir in western Massachusetts; discusses the role of evaporation, demand variation, and the 1961-67 drought, on the development of storage-yield relationships for Massachusetts watersheds; presents results and discusses applicability of computing hydrologic response functions for Massachusetts watersheds; summarizes results of the investigation of the thermal regime of Quabbin Reservoir and indicates the direction of future research efforts in this subject area...
