FIGURES

1-.Maps showing:

1. Location of study area in the Housatonic River Basin, western Massachusetts and parts of eastern New York and northwestern Connecticut
2. Land use in the Housatonic River Basin
3. Distribution of underlying bedrock types and stratified drift and till deposits in the Housatonic River Basin
4. Distribution of the Hadley, Limerick, Linlithgo, Saco, and Winooski silt loam soils (high-erodibility soils) in the Housatonic River Basin
5. Climatological stations, dams, and continuous- and partial-record sediment stations in and near the Housatonic River Basin

6-2.Graphs showing:

6. Monthly precipitation at the Great Barrington Airport climatological station and streamflow and suspended-sediment yield at the three continuous-record sediment stations in the Housatonic River Basin, western Massachusetts, April 1994 through March 1996
7. Flow-duration curves of daily mean streamflow per square mile at six sediment stations in the Housatonic River Basin, western Massachusetts, April 1994 through March 1996
8. Flow-duration curves of daily mean streamflow during selected periods at sediment stations at the Housatonic River near Great Barrington and Green River near Great Barrington, Mass.
9. Relation of instantaneous suspended-sediment concentration to concurrent streamflow and associated sediment-transport curves at six sediment stations in the Housatonic River Basin,western Massachusetts, March 1994 through April 1996
10. Relation of instantaneous suspended-sediment discharge to concurrent streamflow and associated sediment-transport curves at six sediment stations, in the Housatonic River Basin western Massachusetts, March 1994 through April 1996
11. Relation of daily suspended-sediment discharge to daily mean streamflow and associated sediment-transport curves for the Housatonic River near Great Barrington, Mass. (station 01197500),April 1979 through September 1980 and April 1994 through March 1996
12. Sediment-transport curves of instantaneous suspended-sediment yield to concurrent streamflow per square mile at six sediment stations in the Housatonic River Basin, western Massachusetts, March 1994 through April 1996
