miles). Moreover, the flow in the river immediately following Stream A is computed as the river
flow above Stream A (10.7 cfs) plus inflows to the river resulting from Stream A (3.0 cfs). This
results in a river flow of 13.7 cfs. Following the same methodology, the point flows above and
below each structure can be computed. The resulting flows for the river segment illustrated in
Figure 2 are tabulated in columns 4 and 5 of Table 1. Note that river flows occurring above and
below a given gauging station remain equal.
