Maximum run- off during September, 1905, was due largely to heavy storm precipi- tation during the last half of August over the central portion of the watershed. Thus it appears that maximum monthly precipitation due largely to excessive storm precipitation over a considerable portion of the Red Eiver watershed, during the months April to October, has materially increased the run-off from the watershedâ ; however, maxi- mum monthly precipitation may produce in the following month run-off approaching maximum even though no maximum storm precipitation Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original United States.
