<br /> <br />. <br /> <br />PREFACE <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The series of manuals on techniques describes procedures for planning and <br />executing specialized work in water-resources investigations. The material is <br />grouped under major subject headings called books and further subdivided into <br />sections and chapters; Section A of Book 3 is on surface water. <br />The unit of publieation, the chapter, is limited to a narrow field of subject <br />matter. This format permits flexibility in revision and publication as the <br />need arises. <br />Provisional drafts of chapters are distributed to field offices of the U.S. <br />Geological Survey for their use. These drafts are subject to revision because <br />of experience in use or because of advancement in knowledge, techniques, or <br />equipment. After the technique described in a chapter is sufficiently developed, <br />the chapter is published and is for sale by the Superintendent of Documents, <br />U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. <br /> <br />m <br /> <br />. <br />
