<br />mean riffle-pool depth increased. Pool-riffle ratio
<br />in most Ozark and Ouachita streams remained con-
<br />stant (1:1) with progression to midreaches.
<br />The studies were initiated to determine if flow
<br />recommendations computed using the Arkansas
<br />Method were appropriate for smaller-order streams
<br />of the Ozark-St. Francis and Ouachita National
<br />Forests. The Arkansas Method was found to be ade-
<br />quate to protect the stream fisheries in National
<br />forest watersheds. However, for streams that reg-
<br />ularly have only subsurface flow during dry periods
<br />(Le., intermittent as measured by streamflow gages),
<br />the Arkansas Method may need to be refined.
