This flow information reflects conditions only at the time measurements were taken.
Flows marked "est" or "rough" are estimates based on other flow values, and may therefore be wildly inaccurate
(see Estimate Information).
In addition, release changes, rainfall or snowmelt can cause dramatic changes to all flows.
Therefore, actual flows may differ significantly from the ones listed here.
Flow colors: 15 frozen,
15 low,
15 okay,
15 high,
15 unknown.
The values that determine if a flow is marked "low", "okay" or
"high" are available on the Trigger Levels page.
Note: these colors give a general, catch-all classification for the flow at each location, as an aid to selecting potential runs.
However, flow ranges are very subjective, particularly with respect to craft type, so be sure to consult a guidebook before selecting a run.
Note also that a "low" or "high" classification means just that - "low" or "high".
Whether or not it also means "unrunnable" depends on how low or high, your craft type, and your skill level -
many rivers are routinely run at flows that are generally considered "low" or "high".
All flows are in 'cfs' (cubic feet per second) unless otherwise stated.
Other units are 'ft' (gauge height in feet) and 'in' (gauge height in inches).
Special symbols are 'ART' (gauge is Above Rating Table) and 'BRT' (gauge is Below Rating Table).
Flows marked are considered by some to be at or near optimum for at
least one run served by this flow site. The values used to determine which
flows are marked "optimum" are available on the Trigger Levels page.
