a Total area is the area between the upper boundaries of the riparian zone on each side of the river and represents the area of water and riparian
zone videographed within a site.
b Area above water is the area from the water's edge to the upper boundaries of the riparian zone. This area equals total area minus the water
area.
Area of water above minimum is the area between the water's edge at the flow videographed and the water's edge at 800 cfs. This area equals
water area at flow minus the water area at 800 cfs.
