Extension of graphic methods of analysis of sprinkled‐plots hydrographs to the analysis of hydrographs of control‐plots Small Homogeneous watersheds

Abstract

The development of the plans of Infiltration Studies (under the direction of G. W. MUSGRAVE, Office of Research, Soil Conservation Service, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C., and with the cooperation of the Hydrologic Division, same office) to make simultaneous studies of small watersheds by means of infiltrometers and small control‐plots, and the watersheds as a whole, has made it desirable, even necessary, to develop more precise methods of analyzing hydrographs of such control‐plots and the small watersheds. Following is a proposed method of extending and adapting the graphic method of analyzing sprinkled‐plot hydrographs developed by the authors for this purpose [see 3 of “References” at end of paper].
