Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hydrologic Data for Experimental Agricultural Watersheds in the United States, 1962 This publication presents annual basic data on monthly precipitation and runoff; long-term monthly precipitation means for the locality; annual maximum discharges and volumes of run off; daily air temperature, precipitation, and discharge (for some areas); and selected runoff events, with associated data on rainfall, land use, and antecedent conditions for agricultural water sheds where research studies were in progress during the calendar year 1962. Its presentation is a continuation of the activity of processing and releasing hydrologic data of general interest gath ered cooperatively with other agencies. Throughout the life of the watershed studies the State agricultural experiment stations have collaborated in the selection, planning, and operation of the research studies. In several cases, the US Geological Survey and State and local agencies, such as State water boards and highway departments or local drainage and conservation 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 Conserva tion Service.
