<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />1940 <br /> <br />months, thus correlating well with the monthly discharge trends. Specific conductance decreased significantly in <br /> <br />January, February. and March (table 4), which are the lowest discharge months of the year. Although specific con- <br /> <br />ductance tended to increase during July through October (fig. 8), the differences were not statistically significant <br /> <br />(table 4). <br /> <br />The significant increase in discharge and the significant decrease in specific conductance for January, Feb- <br /> <br />ruary, and March were probably caused by an increase in the amount of imported water that was released to the <br /> <br />river during the low-flow months. The larger flow volume increased the dilution potential of the river during a <br /> <br />period when baseflow. which has a larger dissolved-sol ids concentration and specific conductance than the <br /> <br />imported water. has historically represented a substantial fraction of the hydrograph. <br /> <br />Figure 7 near here. <br /> <br />Figure 8 near here. <br /> <br />Table 4 near here. <br /> <br />.
