Discharge at Low-Flow Sites



Measurements of streamflow made at low-flow partial record stations are given in the following table. These measurements were made during periods of base flow when streamflow is primarily from ground-water sources. These measurements, when correlated with simultaneous discharge of a nearby stream (when continuous records are available), will give a picture of the low-flow potentiality of a stream. The column headed "Period of record" shows the water years in which measurements were made at the same, or practically the same, site.
