<br />cfs. <br />~ Baeser Bend is located at Rm 272.6 (Rkm 439.3) and connected with the river at <br />flows near 14,000 cfs during the study (Figures 1 and 3). The breach cut for this site is <br /> <br />located near the middle and measures 61 m long by 6 m wide. Because this site also <br />has a single breach, connection with the river is similar to that described for The Stirrup. <br />About 15.5 ha inundate at 13,000 cfs (Figure 3). Slightly more area would be inundated <br />~ at flows of 14,000 cfs. <br />Above Brennan is located at Rm 268.0 (Rkm 432.0) and connected with the river <br />at flows near 11,000 cfs (Figures 1 and 4). Unlike Baeser Bend and The Stirrup, which <br />~ have only one connection point, Above Brennan connects with the river at five points <br />(Figure 4). One breach measuring 30.5 m long by 12 m wide was cut at the <br />downstream end of the site in 1998. Three other breaches were cut at the upstream <br />end of the site in 1999. There is also a natural connection near the middle of the site. <br />Because of these upstream connections flooding is different from flooding at The <br />~ Stirrup and Baeser Bend. After the initial filling stage water flows into the site at the <br />four upstream connection channels and out at the downstream breach cut. As a result <br />of this flow-through current, scouring occurs at the downstream breach cut and flows <br />~ required for connection have decreased to approximately 11,000 cfs at the downstream <br />breach. About 16.5 ha inundate at 13,000 cfs (Figure 4). Slightly less area inundates <br />at flows of 11,000 cfs. <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />
