"\"egetatiox of the Uxempouxded Area 



A study of the area below the dam for a comparison of the 

 vegetation normal to such an area with that of the empounded 

 area showed that the ground below the dam was densely and 

 closely covered with herbaceous plants. Projecting above them 

 was a moderate growth of shrubs and trees of various sizes. 

 Indications showed that formerly all grew above the dam.

 area previous to empounding.
