Comments and qualifications on the data:
Records are unsuitable for analysis at less than monthly resolution due to diurnal fluctuation and minor regulation
at low flow by mills upstream from station. Some low flow records published between 1923 and 1928 were found to be
unreliable and should not be used.
Monthly and longer averages for 62 water years are acceptable (all years except partial years).
A water year with acceptable data is indicated by an asterisk in the time line, which spans 1874 through 1988.
