The decision to publish the report was made in 1946, from a proposal by the Chairman of the Federal Interagenc;' River Basin Committee, Subcommittee on Ground Water. The subcommittee approved the proposal and agreed to issue this report as a means of effecting better coordination of the work of various Federal agencies in the field of sedimentation. From 1946 to 1947, the report was issued on a quarterly basis; from 1948 to 1953, reports were issued every 6 months; and from 1954 to the present, the report has been issued annually. Descriptions of work in progress or planned are included in the report, as well as important findings, new methods, new publications, information relating to laboratory and research activities, and other pertinent information. The material is organized by major drainage regions in the conterminous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and the Caribbean. Until 1979, each issue of this publication contained a list of stations where sediment data are collected, giving the station location, drainage area, aiH other related information. Because the station list did not change significantly from year to year, it was eventually deleted from the publication. Also, because most users of the station list were only interested in the stations in a certain geographic area, it was felt that their needs could be served more efficiently by acquiring the necessary information through the National Water Data Exchange (NAWDEX). Therefore, locations and addresses of NAWDEX assistance centers are included in this report. Information for "Notes on Sedimentation Activities, Calendar Year 1986" war contributed by the representatives of participating Federal agencies. Suggestions for improving the report are welcome. iii CONTENTS Preface .................................
