The Washington State Department of Health, because of a lack of information relating to the effect of recreational activities on the quality of water flowing from protected watersheds, asked the USPHS to study this problem. In this study, a comparison is made between protected and unprotected watershed areas, and the effect of increasing human use in a heretofore protected area is researched.
