Table 1, pre- <br />viously described, inclulies the number, station name and bar graph of rec- <br />ord of these sites. Their locations are indicated by solid triangles on fig- <br />ure 1. <br /> <br />Gaging-Station Descriptions <br /> <br />In the station description tabulation each station is briefly described in the <br />same downstream order as it appears in table 1. The station number is the <br />same one used in previously published Bulletin 4. Identifying letters instead <br />of numbers indicate that the station has been operated during at least most <br />of its period by the district office of an adjoining state. The station name is <br />that by which it is most rece~tly identified. <br /> <br />Under Location is given information for the most recent site. It includes <br />latitude and lop.gitude. land-line location, and nearby physical landmarks. <br />Some stations have been moved short distances at times but records at the <br />various sites are considered comparable. Information on changes in location <br />is contained in the most recent water-supply papers of the Geological Survey. <br /> <br />Under Remarks is given the class of the station such as pivot, index. or <br />satellite and the station identification numbers of other stations used to ex- <br />tend the record regionally to the base period 1921-56. Information i's als.o <br />giyen of major storage, divers ion or other regulations that are known to <br />influence the pattern of flow at the gaging station. The absence of such in- <br />formation indicates that so far as is known the flow-duration relations repre- <br />sent essentially natural flow conditions. Actually every gaging station in <br />Kansas is downstream from many small stock ponds and irrigahron wells, <br />which have increased in number so rapidly in the last few years that they <br />may already have some effect on streamflow and will surely have a measur- <br />able effect if their numbers continue to increase. In this report they are <br />cons idered as having .no measurable effect on the flow-duration relations <br />established for the base period 1921-56. <br /> <br />
