Output Information:

 

Annual Average Volume Above Minimum Flows

This metric provides the average volume, in cubic feet per week, of instream flow above the minimum requirement. The excess volume flow has been averaged over the number of water years.

Critical Year Designations

Numbers of times over period of analysis fish flows were declared critical.

Fish Monitoring Location

Whether flow measurements are taken at Landsburg or Renton. This metric indicates HCP activation. If activated, measurements will be taken at Landsburg.

Landsburg Fish Shortfalls

This metric presents the number of times fish flows are not met at the Landsburg gauge.

Percentage of Time Above Required Flows

This metric provides the percentage of time flows are above the required minimum instream flows.

Renton Fish Shortfalls

This metric presents the number of times fish flows are not met at the Renton gauge.

Year of Investigation

This field displays the Year of Investigation entered into the Regional Control Panel.

Graphs:

 

Cedar Instream Flows

This graph illustrates Cedar River flows, in cfs, and required flow at the particular gauge station where instream flows are being monitored. (Landsburg or Renton)

Volume Above Minimum Flows

This graph illustrates the volume of water above the required minimum flows, in acre-feet.
