Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hydrologic Data for Experimental Agricultural Watersheds in the United States, 1977 This publication presents basic data on monthly precipitation and runoff; annual maximum discharge and maximum volumes of runoff; daily precipitation and mean daily discharge, with daily air temperature for some areas; and selected runoff events, with associated data on rainfall, land use, and antecedent conditions for agricultural watersheds where research was in progress during 1977. It is a continuation of processing and releasing hydrologic data of general interest collected cooperatively with other agencies. Throughout the watershed studies, the State agricultural experiment stations have collaborated in selecting, planning, and conducting these studies. In several studies the u.s. Geological Survey and State and local agencies, such as State water boards and highway departments of 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 by the u.s. Department of Agriculture's Soil Conservation Service. These data were collected originally for specific research objectives, which are still in progress or have been attained. In addition, they can serve many other purposes. This publication provides information for other Government agencies, university staff members, graduate students, private engineers, and those who need detailed, factual information concerning agricultural watersheds. High - quality hydrologic data such as these have historic value in addition to providing a basis for research and design and evaluation of projects and programs for conservation and development of the Nation's water resources. Although the data on which this publication is based were collected in 1977 or earlier, the findings are still valid and are used for further research on agricultural watersheds.
