Overbank flooding occurred during 1993 from late May through <br />early June. Although we have not developed a stage discharge <br />hydrograph for the study area, we estimate that flows of <br />approximately 17,000 to 20,000 cfs are required to create <br />overbank flow conditions in the study area. <br />U <br />`1 <br />O <br />z <br />Q <br />W <br />20000 <br />15000 <br />10000 <br />5000 <br />0 <br />- Green at FI Gor <br />- - Yampa Deer L <br />,. - Green at Jensen <br />~ ~ <br />-~ <br />r \~ ~ <br />i ~ 1 _ <br />~, , <br />~_, <br />~, <br />~~ ~ <br />~ ~ ~ <br />~ - <br />I 1 // ~ ~ <br />~ r <br />' ~ <br />~~ \ <br />l \ <br />~~~,, , <br />•` <br />~ _~ - ~ <br />-, <br />~J <br />~-- - - <br />May 15, 1993 May 29, 1993 Jun 12.1993 Jun 26.1993 <br />Figure 4.
