<br />4. <br /> <br />Investigat ors frequently require streamflow data at places where no <br />gaging-station records have been obtained either on the same stream or an <br />adjacent one. To help meet this need, procedures for obtaining low-flow fre- <br />quency at ungaged sites are outlined in this report. <br /> <br />ACKNOWLEDGMENTS <br /> <br />This report has been prepared as part of a cooperati ve program between <br />the Kansas State Water Resources Board and the U, S, Geological Survey, <br />It was prepared in the Survey district office in Topeka under the administra- <br />tive direction and guidance of Elwood R, Leeson, District Engineer, Clarence <br />V. Burns, Hydraulic Engineer, was in charge of computations and prepara- <br />tion of the low-flow frequency curves. <br /> <br />Robert L. Smith, Executive Secretary of the State Water Resources Board <br />directed and guided the sc ope and contant of this report toward the goal of <br />providing information useful to the development of the water resources of <br />Kansas. <br /> <br />Most of the streamflow records that supplied the foundation of this re- <br />port were collected by the Geological Survey through cooperative programs <br />with the State of Kansas, Other records were obtained through cooperation <br />with federal agencies, The records were processed by electronic computer in <br />the Washington office of the Geological Survey under the direction of William <br />L, Isherwood, Hydraulic Engineer, <br /> <br />Acknowledgment is also made of the helpful advice and criticism of the <br />Washington staff of the U, S. Geological Survey, particularly Clayton H. Har- <br />dison, Chief, Hydrologic Studies Section, who developed the methods used for <br />adjusting low-flow frequency curves by comparison with records from other <br />stations and who advised on many of the technical problems involved in this <br />study. <br />
