  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;An attempt to demonstrate the source-area concept of&amp;nbsp;storm runoff by analysis of the rainfall-runoff relation for the&amp;nbsp;watershed of Queen Creek tributary in south-central Arizona was&amp;nbsp;moderately successful. The demonstration was somewhat marred by the&amp;nbsp;necessity to make several simplifying assumptions to eliminate some of&amp;nbsp;the many basin variables of unknown magnitude. The percentage of&amp;nbsp;watershed contributing storm runoff was related to total rainfall&amp;nbsp;received that is, antecedent and storm rainfall on the assumption that&amp;nbsp;the availability of rainfall excess from any subarea was dependent on the&amp;nbsp;saturation, or near saturation, of a permeable upper layer of soil. An&amp;nbsp;average unit hydrograph was used for all computed sizes of the&amp;nbsp;runoff-contributing area.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
