• 1̂ "HE investigation consisted of the following A studies: 1. Age of standhumu s depth studies. 2. Correlation of humus type with vegetal cover soil complex. 3. Moisture depletion of soil and humus by cover types. 4. Derivation of soil moisture depletion curves for each coversoi l complex. 5. Synthesi s of the soil moisture depletion curve for the watershed . The method has been successfull y used for evalu ating the effect of various land use practices upon runoff in the Upper Connecticut River Watershed .
