<br />WATER SUPPLY
<br />
<br />At many stream gaging stations in the basin the discharge during
<br />19S1 was the lowest of record. The severe depletion of the water
<br />resources caused by" this and previous years of deficient precipitation
<br />has resulted in considerabie economic loss to the basin.
<br />
<br />Accuracy of Records
<br />
<br />The Rules and Regulations of the Commission state that the
<br />equipment, method, and frequency of measurenent at each gaging
<br />station shall be sufficient to obtain records at least equal in
<br />accuracy to those classified as "good" by" the U. S. Geological
<br />Survey. Within the physical limitations of stream gaging the
<br />agencies obtaining the records at Compact gaging stations has
<br />complied with these regulations.
<br />
<br />Each station description includes a statement concerning the
<br />acouracy of that record. "Excellent" irdicates that, in geIJ:lral,
<br />the daily records are accurate 'llithin S percent; "good", within
<br />10 percent; "fair", within lS percent; "poor", 16 or greater
<br />percent. These standards of accuracy are the sane as those follow-
<br />, ed by the U. S. Geological suivey.
