Tables 2 - 9. Historic data available for CR-7, CR-16, and CR.-22 <br /> <br />were tabulated to show monthly averages and one standard deviation, Tables 10 - 12. <br /> <br />The major change in the River during the sampling period was the Onset of <br /> <br />runoff in March and April, 1974. Data collected prior to March, when the bulk <br /> <br />of the sampling took place, represents winter conditions of low flows and <br /> <br />temperatures. Data collected in March and April of 1974 represent transitory <br /> <br />conditions leading to the high water period of ,~y and June. Stream flow data <br /> <br />supplied by tr~ u. S.
