Karst River Flow Analysis
USGS gauging station data for peak Stream flow are provided for download as a WATSTORE.txt file. Further, USGS 9-207 and Daily Discharge observations are provided for download and optional exploration.
These data can be analyzed for recurrence probability as performed in the earlier FGM Module Section, however a Bankfull stage is not provided for this gage. Discharge on the Santa Fe River, where some flow is partially subterranean, is likely lesser than a non-karst terrain system for with the same watershed size and climate.
The Datum of the gauge is 20.86 feet above sea level NGVD29, which began recording sub-daily surface flow in 1928-08-27 and has continued through 2000-09-17. Daily Stream flow records range from 1927-10-01 to 2002-09-30.
Conducting fluvial geomorphological analysis on this karst site requires special attention to flow losses, and dye tracing is often used to assist in quantifying dilution and losses.
