Table 4. Summary of data from stream gain-loss surveys on the Deschutes and Little Deschutes Rivers in the La Pine, Oregon, study area, 1995–2000.
[All values are in cubic feet per second unless otherwise noted. Q is measured discharge in the mainstem river; Tributary Q is measured tributary inflow above the indicated river mile; Seepage is the unmeasured gain (+) or loss (-) above the indicated river mile; Error is the estimated error measurement (+/-); Standard deviation of measurements is ± 5 percent; Error is computed as square root of the sum of the variances for measurements used to compute seepage. Data sources: source 1 is from K. Gorman, Oregon Water Resources Department, Bend, OR, written commun.; source 2 is from K. Lee, U.S. Geological Survey, written commun. Data for gaging stations at Benham Falls and near La Pine after 1991 are from Bureau of Reclamation. Abbreviation: USGS, U.S. Geological Survey]
