Table 10. Drainage area and average annual flow of perennial streams, annual precipitation estimated from linear relations and adjusted PRISM distributions, and predicted annual flow and precipitation, Carson Valley, Nevada and California.

[Runoff water years 1990–2002: From Maurer and others (2004, p. 14). Annual runoff: Runoff in acre-feet divided by drainage area, and multiplied by 12 to obtain runoff, in inches. Annual runoff predicted from precipitation: Runoff estimated using equation from Maurer and Berger (1997, p. 31) from precipitation estimated from linear relations distribution. Annual precipitation estimated from linear relations and adjusted PRISM: Annual precipitation from table 9 divided by drainage area and multiplied by 12 to obtain precipitation, in inches. Annual precipitation predicted from runoff: Annual precipitation estimates using equation from Maurer and Berger (1997, p. 34) from annual runoff]
