Abstract
Significant findings from local hydrological research studies were reviewed, with special emphasis on the effects of land clearing, forest conversion and selective logging on water attributes and nutrient losses. Removal of trees has been shown to substantially increase the water yield. However, changes in streamwater quality and sediment yield were acceptably small with the institution of conservation measures during logging operation as well as forest conversion. In addition, comparisons with other studies in the temperate and tropical regions are also discussed.
