Comments and qualifications on the data:
Since 1939, a large well field taps the aquifer which is hydraulically connected with the river. This should have
been affecting flow, but the effect has not been seen in the flow record.
Daily and longer averages for 66 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.
