Armentrout <br /> <br />ABSTRACT <br /> <br />Base flow has been separated from total flow and tabulated in this re- <br />port for 84 gaging stations in Kansas and adjoining areas. Base flow, as <br />defined in this report, is the ground-water flow plus the delayed portion of <br />interflow. Many farms, industries and cities depend on this flow for sup- <br />plies of water. Thus, base-flow data will help Kanf':ls obtain optimum ben- <br />efit from its water resources. <br /> <br />As in preceding studies of Kansas streamflow characteristics, short <br />term streamflow records have been extended by regression with long-term <br />records to define the base-flow averages suitable for various analyses in- <br />cluding regional relations, probability distributions, and recession rates. <br />These analyses will be presented in future parts of this series of reports. <br /> <br />1 <br />
