<br />r - <br />L J ,; -\ ~;, <br /> <br />The annual streamflow of the Big Blue River <br />varies a great deaL The relatively impermeable <br />soils permit little infiltration of water into the <br />ground; consequently, the base flow of most of <br />the streams in the basin is small and the runoff <br />from heavy storms is rapid. Runoff from ground- <br />water irrigation development has increased <br /> <br />streamflow in some streams during the irrigation <br />season and in some cases has been reused by <br />surface water irrigators. <br />The annual outflow of the Litlle Blue and Big <br />Blue Rivers IOf 1975 was 264,862 acre-feet and <br />566.232 acre-feet respectively.48 <br /> <br />TOTAL MONTHLY STREAMFLOW IN ACRE-FEET 49 <br /> <br />(OUTFLOW) LITTLE BLUE RIVER NEAR FAIRBURY 11910-1980) <br />Jan.
