records at another location or as estimated at a station site for
periods prior to the beginning of a continuous discharge record. Thus,
..hile the inclusion of runoff estimates in the table has been made to
present a general picture of the amount and distribution of available
\later, it is probable that in some cases the solution to specific prob-
lems of administration, design, and operation may require the establish-
ment of some particular gaging station or the continuation of records
at some point of collection.

Accuracy of data. Due to the tendency of most streams in the south-
..est to shift from one lo...water channel to another, the records collected
at gaging stations are frequent~ classified with accuracy rating of poor.
The indicated error of dai~ records may exceed 15-e~, but it is probable
that the monthly records are some..hat better and that the annual figures
are probab~ fair~ representative of the true flow.

Records computed by comparison with records at some other site are
some..hat less accurate than an observed discharge, depending upon the
magnitude of the extrapolation.

Records presented as computed from rainfall runoff studies are
general~ of an approximate nature. Such data are not intended to repre-
sent a chronologically historic flo.. for the calendar months shown; the
estimates have their significance in the iU.em1se that if a climatic
cycle similar to that of the past were to recur, on an average, the
figures of estimated flo.. are representative of the flo.. that might
be expected.
