The data was collected by the United States Geological Survey under the direction of Frederick Haynes Newell, a prominent geologist and advocate for water resource management. Newell intended to use the data to aid in the development of irrigation systems. The text includes detailed descriptions of river gauging methods at the time and provides an early look at the development of the field of hydrology.
