Hydrologic and Water-Quality Conditions During Restoration of the Wood River Wetland, Upper Klamath River Basin, Oregon, 2003–05

Table 5. Water budget summary for the North Unit, South Unit, and total for the Wood River Wetland, upper Klamath River basin, Oregon, October 2003–September 2005.

[Volumetric values rounded to the nearest 100 acre-feet. Minor adjustments were made to rates and percentages due to rounding to maintain consistency within the table. Feet of water per year: Values represent the annual amount of water gained or lost from the wetland due to a water-budget component as if that component were spread across the entire area of each wetland unit.]

1 The residual incorporates errors associated with the measurement or estimation of all budget components as well as values of any unmeasured or unestimated budget components such as soil-moisture storage.

2 Calculated as: Inflows - Outflows - Change in storage. Negative (-) values indicate a deficit of water due to errors in estimation or lack of inclusion of additional budget components resulting in one or more of the following conditions: inputs underestimated, outputs overestimated, and (or) change in storage overestimated.
