It is anticipated that a better knowledge and understanding of the hydrologic <br />characteristics of upper Clear Creek and its tributaries will be gained once a sufficient period of <br />record is obtained from the gages. Any future re-studies of the Clear Creek County hydrology <br />should certainly make use of the gage data. <br /> <br />Gtf <br /> <br />~\~ <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />III.
