<br />4 <br /> <br />ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS <br /> <br />This report has been prepared as part of a cooperative program between <br />the Kansas Water Resources Board and the U. S. Geological Survey. It was <br />prepared in the Survey district office in Topeka under the administrative di- <br />rection and review of Edward J. Kennedy, District Engineer. <br /> <br />Dwight F. Metzler, Executive Secretary of the Kansas Water Resources <br />Board, and his technical staff, directed the scope and content of this report <br />toward the goal of providing information useful to the development of the <br />water resources of the state. <br /> <br />The Soil Conservation Service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture <br />financed the electronic computation of mean disch~rges for selected periods, <br />such as 3-day, 7-day, 15-day, etc, that provided the basis for flood-volume <br />frequency relations in this report. <br /> <br />The Corps of Engineers of the U. S. Department of the Army at Kansas <br />City, Missouri made available a computer program and electronic computer <br />for adjusting streamflow records to natural conditions downstream from six <br />major reservoirs. <br /> <br />Acknowledgment is made of the helpful advice and criticism of the Wash- <br />ington staff of the U. S. Geological Survey, particularly Roy E. Oltman, Chief <br />Hydrologic Studies Section, and his staff who advised on me thods of analysis <br />and critically reviewed the technical aspects of this report. <br /> <br />Streamflow records that supplied the foundation for this report were <br />collected by the U. S. Geological Survey through cooperative programs with <br />the State of Kansas, the Corps of Engineers of the U. S. Department of the <br />Army and the Bureau of Reclamation of the U. S. Department of Interior. <br />Electronic computation of period means and region~l relations was performed <br />by the Branch of Computation, U. S. Geological Survey. <br />
