Hydrologic Data For Experimental Agricultural Watersheds In The United States 1965

Excerpt from Hydrologic Data for Experimental Agricultural Watersheds in the United States, 1965 Throughout the life of the watershed studies, from which these data are derived, the State agricultural experiment stations have collaborated in the selection, planning, and operation of the research studies. In several cases, the u.s. Geological Survey and State and local agencies, such as State water boards and highway departments of local drainage and con servation districts, have assisted in the work. The classification and correlation of soils and evaluation of other watershed characteristics in the descriptions have been based mostly on field surveys of the Soil Conservation Service. These data were collected originally for purposes of specific research objectives, which have been largely attained. It is recognized, however, that they can serve many purposes in addition to those for which they were originally gathered. Thus, this release is intended to provide informa tion to other governmental agencies, university staff members, graduate students, private engineers, and others who need detailed, factual informa tion concerning the hydrologic performance of agricultural watersheds. High-quality hydrologic data such as these have historical value ln addition to providing a basis for hydrologic research and design and evaluation of projects and programs for conservation and development of the Nation's water resources.

This publication presents selected hydrologic data for the calendar year 1969 and earlier years for some watersheds. It includes data include monthly precipitation and runoff, annual maximum discharges and annual maximum discharge and volume of runoff for 204 intervals of 1, 2, 6, and 12 hours and for 1, 2, and 8 days for 167 watersheds; daily precipitation for 165 watersheds; daily maximum and minimum air temperatures for 16 watersheds; and detailed information for 1 or more selected typical storm events for 143 watersheds.
