Excerpt from The Relation of Rainfall to Run-Off
It has also been discussed in other publications, but so far as known to the writer the Transactions of the American Society contain the most complete discussion of the subject that can be found in English engineering literature.
AS a result of many years' study of the problem indicated by the title of this paper the writer has come to the conclusion that no gen eral formula is likely to be found expressing accurately the relation of rainfall to the run-off of streams, for streams vary widely in their behavior, and when they do agree the agreement is usually accidental. As a' general proposition we may say that every stream is a law unto itself.
The final formula of run-off for a given stream, therefore, will differ in some particulars from that for every other, except that there may be accidental resemblances as regards slope, shape of catchment area, or some other peculiarity. It is, however, true that an empirical formula may be made for certain classes of streams which will give approximately the run-off for a series of years.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the causal relationship between rainfall and the runoff of streams, which is influenced by complex factors including rainfall amount and intensity, soil condition, slope, and catchment topography. The author, an established expert in this field of hydrology, presents a comprehensive analysis of rainfall and runoff data from various rivers and streams in the United States, providing valuable insights into the subject. The text highlights the importance of considering the specific characteristics of each stream when estimating runoff, as opposed to relying on generalized formulas. Additionally, the book sheds light on the impact of land-use practices, such as deforestation, on streamflow patterns and emphasizes the significance of understanding the long-term trends and variations in rainfall and runoff to ensure sustainable water resource management. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781528409636_0
