2005-2007 Dry Creek Flow Measurements

Dry Creek Streamkeepers started monitoring a limited number of sites in the Summer of 2005.  More sites were added in 2006 with a total of five today.  Several sites do not have water flowing during the Summer to Fall months and sometimes in the Spring depending on rainfall.  The attached table contains all the flow measurements from the Summer of 2005 to the Fall of 2007.  2008 flow data is available on request and will be published at the end of the year.2005-2007_Flow_Measurements.pdf
