A special feature of Water-Supply
Paper 243 is a table giving a sum-
mary Of mean monthly discharge in
second-feet per square mile for
streams in the Ohio River basin for
1907 and 1908. This table affords
a means of making comparisons Of
relative rates Of run-off for different
areas in the basin. These COMPARE
sons show, in a general way, the sea-
sonal distribution Of run-off and the
effect of snow, ground, -surface-an
artlhclal storage. The almost en-
tire lack Of uniformity or agreement
between any two stations indicates
that the discharge Of each stream is
law unto itself and that the safe
and economical development Of any
project that is DEPENDENT on stream
flow must be based on long records
collected with great care as near the
location of the project under con-
sideration as possible.
In order to study more completely
the run-Off in a definite area, to the
end that the Information collected
may permit more intelligent interpret
tation of results in other localities,
an intensive study Of run-off was be-
gun in 1908 in the basin Of Knawha
River, tributary OF the Ohio. The
drainage area Of the Kanawha at it's
mouth is about 1900 square miles.
During 1908 twenty-five gaging sta
lions were maintained in this basin,
an average Of one station to each 40
square miles of drainage. It is Of
TO note that nearly all European
countries carry on photographic
work in this way and in some areas
maintain ore station for each 20
square miles or even for a smaller
area. 1t is proposed, to maintain
these stations for several years, but
owing TO the small number Of meas
urements that could be procured
during 1908 it is noe yet possible
TO give final estimates OF discharge
| for any but three or four stations.
