This report provides a means by which a potential user of water from a particular stream can determine the storage required to meet certain use rate during drought periods. The State may be divided into regions A, B, and C.

The report includes:

• An example of calculations for the Strawberry River depicting storage curves and draft storage diagram
• Six figures for draft storage relations for 2- and 5-year frequencies, related to the median annual minimum 7-day flow for streams in regions A, B, and C
• A figure showing relation between storage requirements computed from gaging-station data and from draft-storage data
• Map of average annual lake evaporation, in inches, for the period 1946-1955
• Map of average annual precipitation, in inches, for the period 1933-1952
• Map showing location of gaging stations and delineation of draft-storage regions
• Fold out map showing average annual stream flow
• A table depicting flow characteristics of selected Arkansas streams
• A table showing draft-storage relations at gaging stations on selected Arkansas streams

*Includes: 35 pages, 16 figures, 2 tables
