Five of these catchments, which supply 40 per cent of Melbourne’s drinking water are open to clearfell logging.<IMG width="218" height="124" border="1" align="right" alt="Logging coup in Armstrong Crk" src="http://www.wilderness.org.au/projects/pix/logged.JPG" /></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://globalwarmingwatch.blogspot.com/2008/02/clearfelled-truth-about-melbourne.html"><P>Several independent studies, including a technical report published in December 2000, have found that clearing and regeneration of these forests has a dramatic effect on water yield.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://globalwarmingwatch.blogspot.com/2008/02/clearfelled-truth-about-melbourne.html"><P>Research has shown logged areas to suffer a 50 per cent reduced water yield (shown in graph).
