Abstract |
The report is a summary of the surface-water resources of the United States. Brief tabulations of the average discharges of principal streams in and along the borders of each state are presented. A map and table for each state show average discharge and extremes of discharge for principal streams at selected stream-gaging stations. The average discharge, although only a partial clue to the water supply available in a stream, is useful for making rapid appraisals of surface-water resources. |
