Abstract
IN view of warnings that are being issued by various water companies that waste of water should be avoided, the rain and drainage figures of the Rothamsted Experimental Station for 1921 are of considerable interest and significance. The drainage gauges were built in Barnfield in 1870 by Lawes and Gilbert, and contain undisturbed soil which is kept bare; each gauge measures 1/1000 acre. The soil is a rather heavy loam with a reddish subsoil over chalk.
