Analysis of flow duration curves showed that reforestation of a 44‐acre watershed near Coshocton, Ohio, reduced flow in the low flow tail of the curve but did not significantly reduce flows above 0.25 inch per day. Other analyses showed that reductions also occurred in the maximum annual flow volumes for all periods of flow durations of 1 day or longer. The onset of dormant season flow was significantly delayed.
