Multiyear low flow in southeastern Kansas
William J. Carswell Jr.
1979, Open-File Report 79-1288
Many existing water supplies in southeastern Kansas are proving inadequate to meet current and expanded future needs. One of the methods in which the use of highly variable streamflow in the area can be evaluated is with the aid of multiyear low-flow frequency information. Data from 19 stream-gaging stations in...
