Abstract
The upland of Connecticut is a typical glaciated region with many small swamp and seepage areas at or near the divides between the principal streams. Fed by the run-off from these water reservoirs, the relatively short primary streams are fairly steady flowing. Early colonial industries made use of their waterpower wherever it was possible to develop a small pond and install a water wheel. These ponds have almost entirely disappeared although the foundations of many dams are still to be seen. Much of the agriculture also disappeared and open land has been replaced by forests. Modern transportation has made possible the reoccupation of much of these uplands as part-time farms or as yearround residences for city wage earners. Water areas are again becoming important as additional attractions to land
