    The measurement of soil loss from fractional acre plots
    (Lincoln College. New Zealand Agricultural Engineering Institute., 1968-09) Hayward, John A.
    The use of runoff plots in "Observational" and "Experimental" studies is reviewed and discussed. The basic requirements for a sound experimental design in each type of study are described. It is noted that most studies have been inadequately designed. The principal shortcomings have been the absence of replication and randomisation of treatments, and the inherit assumption that bias is unimportant. The paper identifies several possible sources of bias which must be accounted for before plot data can be extrapolated to field conditions. The equipment most commonly used in plot studies is briefly reviewed. It is suggested that the plot method is probably a fairly crude one, and the use of precision equipment may only give precise measurement of inaccurate values.

    Hydrologic characteristics of catchments / Lag time for natural catchments
    (Lincoln College. New Zealand Agricultural Engineering Institute., 1968-07) Boughton, Walter C.; Askew, A. J.
    Hydrological characteristics of catchments : The systematic description and classification of catchment characteristics has never been adequately treated in any hydrological text. This paper summarises available measures for the quantitative description of catchments and points to aspects of catchment mensuration where deficiencies occur. Measures and definitions of catchment characteristics which have appeared in hydrological literature are described in 5 groups, these being topographical characteristics, vegetation, soils, climatic characteristics, and human effects. The characteristics of a catchment such as the unit hydrograph which are contained in the streamflow record are noted, and areal and temporal variations in characteristics are briefly discussed. Abstract for second paper, Lag time in natural catchments : The development of a relationship for the variable lag of ungauged catchments. Pluviograph and runoff records for an experimental catchment were studied in detail. A procedure was developed for the computation of the lag to direct runoff and the weighted mean discharge for any number of floods. This procedure was written into the form of a computer programme and the records of five catchments were analysed with the use of a digital computers. The relationships effect of other factors was studied. Finally the form of the relationships and the parameters defining them were related to the characteristics of the catchment areas.
