Table 1. Streamflow-measurement sites on the water-balance reach of the Klamath River, south-central Oregon.

[Location of streamflow-measurement sites are shown in figure 1. Mean annual flow: Based on 1961–2004 period. Accuracy ratings: Both are defined as the percentage of error (±) in actual flow of 95 percent of daily flows. USGS: Based on water year 2004 record. Cal Poly: Based on water years 1999 and 2000 records. Abbreviations: Reclamation, Bureau of Reclamation; Cal Poly, California Polytechnic State University Irrigation Training and Research Center; KDD, Klamath Drainage District; KID, Klamath Irrigation District; PC, PacifiCorp; TID, Tulelake Irrigation District; USGS, U.S. Geological Survey.
