A study of seven watersheds smaller than 1,000 square miles indicates that the effect of flow diversion on peak rates of runoff is probably negligible for those watersheds for which peak rates of runoff are caused by rainstorms. Evidence indicates that flow diversions probably become significant for watersheds of 1,000 square miles or more for which snowmelt is a significant contributing factor in producing peak rates of flow.reportsengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
