How many distinct storm events with a flow of over 800 cfs are clearly recorded by this hydrograph? Mark an X on each flood peak, and write your answer below.
In the middle of March 2018, there is a noticeable decline in flow - a decline that continues uninterrupted until early April. What could cause such a dramatic decrease in streamflow?
What is the approximate value of the baseflow just prior to the first major stormflow event in October?
At the beginning of May 2018, there is a modest increase in flow to just over 100 cfs, but the records indicate that there was no precipitation during that time. Temperature records show that there were warm Spring-season temperatures during the 1st week of May. What could cause such a dramatic increase in streamflow?
