Comments and qualifications on the data:
   Prior to October 1932, discharges are from the reports of the Iowa State Planning Board. Since 1913, discharge is
   computed from records of the operation of turbines in powerplant and spillway gates in dam by Union Electric Power
   Company (formerly Mississippi River Power Company). Records for the period May 1913 to September 1937 are adjusted
   for change in contents in Keokuk Reservoir.  Those after September 1937 are unadjusted.  Minor flow regulation by
   powerplant since 1913, and by navigation dams since about 1939.


Daily and longer averages for 110 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.
