Stream Data The discharge was monitored several times a day during snowmelt and periodically after snowmelt was complete until late summer when instrumentation was removed from the stream by taking individual measurements using a Flowmate current meter and a wading rod. On several occasions, flow in Melsing Creek was estimated when the creek could not be waded or crossed in a boat due to massive ice rafts. In these cases estimates if the flow were made to the best of the observers capabilities using estimated measurements of stream width, main channel velocity and estimated average depth. When the channel could safely be waded, measurements of depth, velocity and width were collected over an interval to calculate a total discharge for the stream, according to guidelines established by the Buchanan and Somers (1969). In all streams, other than Melsing Creek, it was possible to obtain actual measurements from wading the creek. In the Council creeks, measurements were made before snowmelt initiation to obtain values for baseflow. In Guy Rowe Creek, Mauze Gulch and Niagara Creek, there was zero winter discharge so the creeks were measured as soon as water started to flow in the channel. An attempt was made to measure the diurnal variations throughout snowmelt. In all cases, when a stable channel was established and all ice was gone from the channel, pressure transducers were installed to provide a continuous record of discharge. Data was recorded using Campbell Scientific CR10X recorders on an hourly interval. Buchanan, T.J. and W.P. Somers. (1969). Discharge Measurements at Gaging Stations.
