Excerpt from Plot Samples of Watershed Hydrology The original purpose of this study, conducted during the early 1940's, was to learn if a relationship exists between the hydrograph of a watershed and the hydrographs obtained from small sample plots within the watershed for any specific storm. The data from this study have provided a basis for numerous analyses2 useful in the development of concepts for watershed hydrology.

Excerpt from Plot Samples of Watershed Hydrology The original purpose of this study, conducted during the early 1940's, was to learn if a relationship exists between the hydrograph of a watershed and the hydrographs obtained from small sample plots within the watershed for any specific storm. The data from this study have provided a basis for numerous analyses2 useful in the development of concepts for watershed hydrology. However, the application of runoff data obtained from small plots to large areas is still a highly debatable subject. The hydrologic measurements presented in this report were gathered on small plots within two watersheds near Edwardsville, Ill., from 1940 to 1943. These measurements and analyses provide the most comprehensive data currently available (1) on the infiltration rate of water as it is affected by soil moisture, soil temperature, soil structure, and vegetative cover, (2) on the seasonal variation of infiltration, and (3) on the rainfall and infiltration data needed to predict surface runoff. The almost complete listing of data in the appendix is intended both as an aid to the develop ment and teaching of hydrologic concepts for watershed engineering and for the benefit of those who may desire to perform further analyses. Analyses included here are selected from inservice technical publications directly pertinent to this objective. Many additional analyses are possible and desirable.
