4-28 <br />• (0.993), annual mean discharge for Munger Creek can be <br /> expected to range from ,02 cfs to 0.48 cfs. <br />The mean monthly flows for Munger Creek were also estimated <br />as 3.9 percent of the East Salt Creek mean monthly flow. <br />Seasonal variations and monthly distributions were assumed <br />to follow the pattern of East Salt Creek flows. The Munger <br />Creek watershed will respond more rapidly to precipitation <br />event; and runoff will be delivered more quickly to the <br />creek. Thus, even though Munger Creek also collects snowmelt <br />runoff, the peak discharge may come earlier in the snowmelt <br />season than the corresponding East Salt Creek peak discharge. <br />Furthermore, a higher percentage of Munger Creek runoff may <br />• result from summer thunderstorms since any thunder shower <br /> over Munger Creek watershed will cover a greater percentage <br />of the basin than in the <br />Rough estimates of mean <br />calculated as explained <br />As can be seen from the <br />zero through the winter <br />about 1 cfs in May <br />larger East Salt Creek watershed. <br />monthly runoff for Munger Creek were <br />above and are presented in Table 4,5-2. <br />table, flows range from essentially <br />months to a mean monthly flow of <br />4.5.3.2 Flood Flows <br />4.5.3.2.1 Recorded Flows <br />The maximum instantaneous discharge recorded at the Mack <br />gaging station on East Salt Creek was 2,630 cfs in July, 1974. <br />u <br />
