Ra1n:f'all records for <br />Ulysses, Kansas, shows that the annual precipitation averaged 19.8 inches <br />for the period of discharge record 1938-49, 17.5 inches for the period <br />including discharge estimates 1921-49, and 16.2 inches for the period of <br />precipitation record 1891-1949. A minimum calendar year precipitation of <br />8.4 inches occurred in 1896. <br /> <br />Near the Englewood dam site the river leaves the High Plains province <br />and crosses the Permian redbeds, much extend nearly to its mouth. The <br />river makes a short loop into Kansas, then enters Oklahoma aE!ll.in to form <br />the boundary between Harper and Woods Counties. In this region the C1marron <br />becomes highly mineralized from underlying salt beds. The generally poor <br />quality of' the water extends downstream to the mouth. Dissolved solids <br />consist chiefly of sodium chloride. There is considerable artificial <br />pollution from oilfield wastes in the lower part of the basin. <br /> <br />2-5 <br />
