Participation by hydrologists in this project were merely in an advisory capacity until 1985. Since that time, participation has been limited to about 0.4 scientist-year per year and much of that time has been spent in design of measurement and sampling systems, calibration of flumes, and data reduction and interpretation. A recently completed MS thesis "Computer Modeling of Water Yield from Kings Creek Watershed" (Bartlett, 1988) represents the first attempt to model the hydrology of KPRNA. The results of parts of that work are summarized herein. The objectives were to (1) build a model specifically designed for the Kings Creek watershed; (2) to develop a climatological data set to calibrate this model; (3) to predict the runoff and percolation volumes for the subplots of the watershed; (4) to predict the streamflow in Kings Creek; and (5) to predict the long-term water yield for the watershed
