Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive study of stream measurements collected in the United States over the course of 1905 by the United States Geological Survey. In the late 1800s, the USGS had begun taking measurements of water flow from rivers and streams. By 1894, the importance of this work had grown to the point where a special provision was added to the US federal budget to allow for the creation of a dedicated team tasked with collecting this data. The book gathers the results of these measurements, compiles them into a single source, and discusses methods of calculating flow and estimating discharge that would prove critical to future water resource management efforts.
