Last measured: 22-Jun-25
Discharge: 1549 m3/sec Status: 1 (1, low; 2, normal flow; 3, moderate flood, r >2.33 y; 4, major flood, r >5 y)
7-day Runoff 2.4 mm 77% (7-day runoff compared to 20 y average for this date, 2004-2023)
Flood Magnitude: 0.0 Scale of 0-10 Flood Magnitude Defined Technical Summary
Notes: 7-day forward moving average is applied. Geolocation correction, commencing April 1, 2012: 0
Low flow is 20th percentile discharge for this day, 2003-2013. Noise filter: >.03 daily signal change
Notes: Log Pearson Type III is used to compute recurrence intervals from 27 years of record (1998-2024)
