Based on study of the characteristics of two elements in the recession curve, the Pennsylvania Water and Power Company has endeavored to estimate from ground‐water well observation and current stream flow, the flow that can be assured one and two weeks in advance on the assumption that no subsequent rainfall might occur. Graphs indicate not only the degree of success that has been obtained but the extent to which improvement has been made by refinements not originally contemplated. The results have proved useful in guaranteeing capacity of hydro‐electric plants and in the scheduling of maintenance of stream equipment.
