a 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.
b 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.
