Topic Flow: Dry Cr nr Geyserville - Pre/Post 1983 - Monthly Flow Comparison
 
Caption:  This chart displays monthly average flows for Dry Creek near Geyserville, CA (US Geological Survey gage station #11465200), comparing the hydrographs pre- and post- influence of Warm Springs Dam. The introduction of Warm Springs Dam in 1984 has altered the magnitudes and timing of the natural monthly hydrograph. Average winter flow magnitudes have been reduced and summer base flows have increased. Additionally, the rising limb of the monthly hydrograph rises at a slower rate and peaks one month later prior to pre-dam impact. This analysis was completed by IFR-KRIS staff hydrologist and utilized daily average flow data from the USGS and the Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration (IHA) flow statistics model. See InfoLinks for more information.
