The hydrographic work of the United States Geological Survey includes the collection Of facts concerning and the study of conditions affecting the behavior Of water from the time it reaches the earth as rain or snow until it joins the oceans or great navigable rivers. These investigations became a distinct feature Of the work Of the Survey in the fall of 1888, when an instruction camp was established at Embudo, N. Mex.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides critical information about water supply and irrigation in the western Gulf of Mexico and Rio Grande drainages at the start of the 20th century through a series of collected data from stream flow measurements taken in the area. The data is presented in a series of tables, organized by individual drainage basin, that include detailed observations of river stage, discharge, cross-sectional soundings, and other pertinent information related to stream flow and runoff. These observations were made in order to create a system for estimating river flow and predicting future water resources and needs of the region. This book is part of a larger series of reports that formed the foundation of the U.S. Geological Survey's efforts to collect and publish water resources data for the United States.
