Peak stream flows for Lightner Creek in Durango, CO (source: rwrww.L,Qs.nov. <br />gauge 09362000, period of record; 1927 - 1946). <br />One of the metrics used to analyze flows relates to the probability of exceedence. <br />For example, a 50% exceedence represents the chance, in any given year, that the <br />average flow will exceed a given flow rate. A plot of exceedence values throughout <br />the year are shown in Figure 4 for the reach of the Animas River located <br />downstream of Lightner Creek. This reach includes the proposed Boating Park. <br />9 <br />
