Table 1. Major bedrock type, runoff as a percentage of precipitation, index model, and precipitation stations used for model development of perennial gaged and ungaged watersheds, Nevada and California.

[Watershed No.: “u” is ungaged, “g” is gaged. Locations are shown in figure 3. Runoff efficiency: Runoff as a percentage of precipitation from Maurer and Berger (2007, p. 29). Index model: Watershed model for gaged watershed used as index for models of ungaged watersheds. Abbreviations: –, indicates no index model used]
