Summary of sediment deposition in the U.S. reservoirs – Summary of data reported 1981-1985: Compiled under the auspices of the Subcommittee on Sedimentation Interagency Advisory Committee on Water Data, September 1992, 61 p. (This publication supplements and updates U.S. Department of Agriculture Miscellaneous Publication (MP) No. 1362, "Sediment Deposition in U.S. Reservoirs: Summary of Data Reported through 1975" and "Sediment Deposition in U.S. Reservoirs: Summary Data Reported 1976-80," Interagency Advisory Committee on Water Data, Subcommittee on Sedimentation. The 1981-85 summary report includes (1) data from surveys made for a reservoir before 1980 only if new surveys were made for that reservoir during the period 1981-85 and (2) data for surveys that were made before 1981, but that were not reported in previous editions. If no new surveys on a particular reservoir were made since 1975, the complete historical survey record for that reservoir is contained in MP 1362 and is not repeated in this publication. Additional editing was done to correct some inconsistencies from previous reports when slightly different reservoir names or the dam names were used in previous survey listings)
