Abstract

Experimentation on small watersheds is assuming increasing importance in watershed-management research. Much has been accomplished in developing adequate instrumentation for use in these experiments. Yet many problems still await solution. One difficulty encountered is that small streams are subject to wide variations in flow and that these variations are generally unpredictable; so it is often impossible for personnel to be on the spot at the right time to take samples or to service installations.
