| Abstract |
| From October 1995 to September 2000 (water years 1996-2000), continuous 15-minute stage, water
velocity, salinity, and water temperature data were collected at seven estuarine creeks that flow
into northeastern Florida Bay. These creeks include West Highway Creek, Stillwater Creek, Trout Creek,
Mud Creek, Taylor River, Upstream Taylor River, and McCormick Creek. Discharge was computed at
15-minute intervals using mean water velocity and the cross-sectional area of the channel.
Fifteen-minute unit values are presented for comparison of the quantity, quality, timing, and
distribution of flows through the creeks.

| Revised discharge estimation formulas are presented for three noninstrumented sites (East Highway
Creek, Oregon Creek and Stillwater Creek) that utilize an improved West Highway discharge rating.
Stillwater Creek and Upstream Taylor River were originally noninstrumented sites; both were fully
instrumented in 1999. Discharge rating equations are presented for these sites and were developed
using a simple linear regression.
