Excerpt from Rates of Runoff for the Design of Conservation Structures in the Central Great Plains of Nebraska and Kansas The design values, recommended in this report, are based primarily on an analysis of the hydrologic data collected by the Central Great Plains Experimental Watershed in cooperation with the Nebraska and Kansas Agricultural Experiment Stations. United States Weather Bureau records of precipitation and United States Geological Survey published and unpublished records of stream flow were also utilized in the analysis. It is recognized that an 8-year record of surface runoff from small agricultural areas is insufficient data upon which to base conclusive recommendations. It was felt, however, that the need for information on peak rates of flow that might be expected from such areas justified the immediate publication of this report. Values presented in the report must be considered as tentative, and subject to revision as additional data become available.
