The river was at a base-flow, relatively <br />steady-state condition. Flow at S.H. 13 ranged from 265 cubic <br />feet per second (cfs) on 28 August to 218 cfs on 31 August 1978: <br />No irrigation or other diversions were active, and Williams Fork <br />was the only flowing tributary. To determine if the river gains <br />or loses flow across the reach of interest, a series of discharge <br />measurements were made at the locations shown on Figure 2-1. All <br />measurements were made using standard U.S. Geological Survey <br />methods and equipment. To minimize error, all measurements were <br />made while wading using the same current meter, a Price Type AA <br />• Meter No. 5-70. To minimize human error, on each day wading was <br />3-1 <br />
