Overview_Description:

Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:

Values listed for the gage height and discharge fields are reported to the nearest accuracy level of the measurement or statistical method. A value of zero in the peak field indicates that peak discharge was not determined.
Peak_Cd = Peak Discharge Qualification Codes, codes and descriptions are:
1 = Discharge is a Maximum Daily Average 2 = Discharge is an Estimate 3 = Discharge affected by Dam Failure 4 = Discharge less than indicated value, which is Minimum Recordable Discharge at this site 5 = Discharge affected to unknown degree by Regulation or Diversion 6 = Discharge affected by Regulation or Diversion 7 = Discharge is an Historic Peak 8 = Discharge actually greater than indicated value 9 = Discharge because of Snowmelt, Hurricane, Ice-Jam or Debris Dam breakup A = Year of occurrence is unknown or not exact B = Month or Day of occurrence is unknown or not exact C = All or part of the record affected by Urbanization, Mining, Agricultural changes, Channelization, or other D = Base Discharge changed during this year E = Only Annual Maximum Peak available for this year
GH_Cd = Gage Height Qualification Codes, codes and descriptions are:
1= Gage height affected by backwater 2 = Gage height not the maximum for the year 3 = Gage height at different site and(or) datum 4 = Gage height below minimum recordable elevation 5 = Gage height is an estimate 6 = Gage datum changed during this year
