water supplies diminishing farm pond value increases talunafad awatj srai the importance of small farm poads in coping with an increasing demand and diminishing supply of water especially in southwestern ontario is emphasized by lake erie district forester j k rey nolds of the ontario department of lands and forests in this extreme southwesterly corner of ontario where water supplies for many cities as well as farms are obtained from wells streams springs and impound ments adequate quantities of wat- er are becoming increasingly -dif- ficmlt to obtain mr reynolds say this increasing shortage is be ing felt not only as a result of drying up or are being filled in partly through mismanagement but largely from the gradual change in the physical feature of the land which foes along with the change in land use against this increased demand i and diminished supply can be bal anced one outstanding nature fea ture namely that southern ontario receives on the average 30 inches or more of rainfall in a year al though there is often a lack of rainfall in the summer months there a an ample supply in winter and spring the need therefore is to store some of this spring runoff by
