Comments and qualifications on the data:
Records prior to 1949 are unsuitable for analysis at less than monthly resolution due to diurnal fluctuations at
low flow induced by upstream power plants.

A water year with acceptable data is indicated by an asterisk in the time line, which spans 1874 through 1988.
