USGS Scientific Investigations Report 2010–5016 Development of an Environmental Flow Framework for the McKenzie River Basin, Oregon

Table 1. Mean streamflow and basin yield at selected streamflow-gaging stations in the McKenzie River basin, Oregon.

[Period of record: A water year is from October 1 to September 30. Basin yield is computed as mean streamflow divided by drainage area. Abbreviations: ft³/s, cubic feet per second; (ft³/s)/mi², cubic feet per second per square mile; mi², square mile]
