52 What the NATIONAL FORESTS Mean to the WATER USER 



a number of years it is now possible to go ahead in many localities with 

 reasonable assurance of success. Planting is done principally on areas 

 from which towns and cities or irrigation projects get their water supply. 

 In a word, the various activities on the National Forests are handled 

 in such a way as to insure the fullest possible protection and utilization of 

 the water supply as w r ell as of the timber, forage, and other resources. One 

 of the main objects in the creation of the National Forests was to benefit 

 the water user and in their actual administration this end is kept con- 

 stantly in view.
