   Storage: N.A.%     Lakes: N.A.%        Forests: N.A.%      Glaciers: N.A.%
Soil infiltration index is N.A. inches
Annual precipitation is N.A. inches
Precipitation intensity is N.A. inches/24 hour (expected on the average once each two years)

Comments and qualifications on the data:
   Prior to October 1932, discharges are from the reports of the Iowa State Planning Board. Prior to October 1939
   (published as "at Le Claire"), discharges include flow from Wapsipinicon River.  Minor flow regulation by
   navigation dams since about 1938 - should not significantly affect monthly discharges and should have only minor
   affect on daily discharges.


Daily and longer averages for 115 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.
