Gauge

Gauge Description:

The gauge is located downstream of the confluence with the Tatshenshini River and near the take-out. There is an Alsek above Bates River gauge maintained by the Water Survey of Canada's waterweb. It's not a real-time station, but data are routinely uploaded and you can view past discharge data (be sure to select discharge as the parameter type; to convert to cfs multiply by 35.7). For all practical purposes then this gauge can simply tell you what the flow was once you return home; Embick notes that if you multiply the value on this gauge by 1.5 it will give you the approximate discharge for Turnback Canyon.
