Comments and qualifications on the data:
Period of good record is from 1955 to present. There is small diversion upstream for irrigation and the system of
interconnected bayous and drainage ditches produces interchange of streamflow under various conditions. Monthly
average discharge measurements should not be significantly altered.
Monthly and longer averages for 34 water years are acceptable (some whole years and all partial years are excluded).
A water year with acceptable data is indicated by an asterisk in the time line, which spans 1874 through 1988.
