(Data from this gaging station are used for the calibration to discharge, with an adjustment for different contributing areas)

Notes:

Rating equation is based on daily discharge values for spring, 2008. Entrenched channel, site does not exhibit strong response to flooding; discharge information is unreliable

Discharge and runoff, based on satellite remote sensing (NASA AMSR-E data)

(For U.S, sites, nearby ground station discharge may also be shown)
