Application of a Computer Model to a Desert Watershed
Published:
January 1, 1969U.S. Agency for International Development
Only about 5% of precipitation which fall son the dry deserts of Arizona is retained for use. Efficient watershed management could increase this percentage. This requires accurately predicting runoff from storms. Watershed modeling using computers is the most promising of methods.Read more
