Download or read book Optimizing Information Transfer in a Stream-gaging Network written by Philip Hadley Carrigan and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Networks of small stream (less than 50 sq. mi.) gages have been operated by the U.S. Geological Survey throughout the country for a number of years to supplement flood information already available for large streams. The goal in operation of these networks has been to obtain sufficient data for estimating flood frequency at ungaged sites with the equivalent accuracy expected from 10 years of observed flood records. Most networks have accumulated sufficient data to satisfy these accuracy requirements. A review of these data, looking toward possible reduction of the number of gages in these networks, is now timely."--Technical report documentation page
