Comments and qualifications on the data:
Records are unsuitable for analysis at less than monthly resolution due to diurnal fluctuation and occasional
regulation caused by powerplant 46 miles upstream as well as small reservoirs above station. Minor diversion
upstream for municipal supply has negligible affect on monthly statistics.
Monthly and longer averages for 93 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.
