Results of studies of recent major floods have emphasized the practical value of analyses of the relation between rainfall and resultant runoff. Analyses that are directed toward appraising the respective values of the soil and the river-channel as agencies for disposing of potential flood-waters are especially pertinent. If evaporation-losses from non-infiltrated water may be neglected as inconsequential, as during prolonged storms of winter, the difference between rainfall and the associated runoff may be ascribed to such edaphic influences represented by infiltration, interception, and surface-storage. The problem in the analyses is therefore one of correlating rainfall and resultant runoff. The procedures described in this paper resulted from studies of the rainfall and runoff relations of the Ohio River flood of January 1937 [see 1 of References at end of paper].
