Table 5. Upstream and downstream boundary conditions in simulations from the multidimensional flow models of the Kootenai River near Bonners Ferry, Idaho.

[Water-surface elevations for objective simulated flows correspond to median water-surface elevations at the Queens Bay gaging station in Kootenay Lake, British Columbia, Canada, and were computed using a 1-dimensional flow model (Berenbrock, 2005). Reported average water-surface elevations are based on the population of all wet nodes in the model. Abbreviations: m³/s, cubic meter per second; ft³/s, cubic foot per second; m, meter; ft, foot]
