IConcurrelll period of monthly streamflow and dissolved-solids
concentration computed using the method developed by Liebermann dnd others
(1987). ......ater year is defined as the period from October 1 through September
30 and is designated by the calendar year in ""hich it ends.

Purpose and Scope

The purpose of this report is to provlde documented estimates of stream-
fIo.... and dissolved-solids concentration for 13 sites that have incomplete
records. The first objective is to describe techniques for extending the
records at individual sites. Techniques based on statistical relations
bet...een hydrological vdriables, such as slreamflo~ dnd dissolved-solids
concentration, either at d single site or bet...een sites ~ere acceptable. The
second objective is to describe the techniques used to extend the monthly
records of streamfIo...- dnd dissolved sol ids from October 1940 through lhf'
