Surface Water Supply Of The North Pacific Coast Drainage 1906 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Surface Water Supply of the North Pacific Coast Drainage, 1906 Owing to the broad scope of these hydrographic investigations and the length of time they should cover in order that the records may be of greatest value, it is, in general, impossible for private individuals to collect the necessary data, and as many of the streams traverse more than one State this work does not properly fall within the province of the State authorities. The United States Geological Survey has therefore, by means of specific appropriations by Congress, for several years systematically made records of stream flow, with the view of ultimately determining all the important features governing the flow of the principal streams of the country. In carrying out this plan, stations are established on the streams and maintained for a period long enough to show their regimen or general behavior. When a rec ord that is sufficient for this purpose has been obtained for any stream the work on that stream is discontinued. The order in which the streams are measured is determined by the degree of their importance. During 1906 the regimen of flow was studied at about 700 stations distributed along the various rivers throughout the United States, as shown on pi. I. In addition to these records data 111 regard to precipitation, evaporation, water power, and river profiles were obtained in many sections of the country.
