These water supplies are at risk of degradation from a growing population, continued conversion of forests to other land uses, and climate change. Given the variety of threats to surface water, it is important for forest managers to know how much of the drinking water supply originates in forests they manage and what populations and communities are served by that water. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The objective of this analysis was to address this need by 1) estimating how much fresh surface water supply in the South originates from NFS lands and State and private forest lands, and 2) estimating how many people and which communities in the South depend on this fresh surface water supply. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Of the 6,188 intakes, 3,143 received more than 20 percent of their water from State and private forest lands and served 29.0 million people. These results highlight the importance of southern forests in providing clean and dependable water supplies to downstream communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Caldwell,Corinne Muldoon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0160943981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780160943980\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Forest Service\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 139\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Peter Caldwell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447597215999,"sku":"9780160943980","price":41.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7248f61b-3069-4150-8f5d-5c1c8ab7cb02.jpg?v=1777233750","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/quantifying-the-role-of-national-peter-caldwell-9780160943980","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
