Low flow
Posted: 07 Nov 2012 05:03 AM
The featured chart displays the maximum daily river flow as measured by
the gauge on Squaw Creek in Ames at Lincoln Way for each year since
1991. The chart has a logarithmic y-axis to help show the low flows.
The flow this year has been on the dry side and non-existent (not
measured by the sensor) for many times since July. The flood years of
1993 and 2010 are highlighted for comparison. We continue to
desperately need rain and rain while the ground is still not frozen.
This rain would help replenish ground water and provide a reserve for
crops to use for next year.
