Importance of a Knowledge of the Variation in Stream Flow.--The hydrographs previously discussed indicate in general great diversities in the discharge: 1. Of different streams. 2. Of the same streams during different years.. 3. Of the same streams during different seasons of the same year. These differences have marked influences on the availability of each stream for utilitarian purposes depending upon these variations and the uses to which the stream may be applied. In order to make...
