Sensor Notes

Prior to the 02/21/17 storm, the low to medium flow control was a concrete broad-crested trapezoidal weir; high flow is the heavily vegetated channel. During the 02/21/17 storm, the channel filled in with sediment, resulting in the low to medium flow control being a gravel bar 75 feet below the gage. As the year progressed, the gravel bar control became increasingly vegetated. Record is poor due to an altered control, channel vegetation, and poor measurement sections.
