to rise is approximately ocpuil to the time consumed in falling. Owing

to the lack of definite knowledge as to the storage and rainfall condi- 
tions on most streams, it is difficult to obtain accurate informatioQ 
on this point, but it is believed that the table following shows in a 
general way the truth of this statement.
