-6000 - 0 cfs |
extremely Low-somewhat Low |
II-III(IV) |
Completely within capacity of powerplant, thus likely minimal flow in river channel. |
|
0 -1000 cfs |
somewhat Low-barely Low |
II-III(IV) |
Too low for decent whitewater. Width of river makes these flows a total scrape. |
|
1000 -2000 cfs |
barely runnable-med runnable |
I-II(III) |
Possibly low-to-low-moderate. (Likely 1000-2000 cfs.) Beginner/low-intermediate whitewater. Some features/sections are 'in', but most are not. |
|
2000 -3000 cfs |
barely runnable-med runnable |
II-III |
Possibly low-moderate to moderate (likely 2000-3000 cfs), strong-beginner/intermediate whitewater. Most features/sections should be 'in', but some may not be. |
|
3000 -4000 cfs |
med runnable-a bit pushy runnable |
II-III(IV) |
Moderate flows (perhaps 3000-4000 cfs). Intermediate whitewater. Most features should be playable. Similar to the target flows for the four scheduled releases. |
|
4000 -5000 cfs |
med runnable-a bit pushy runnable |
II-III(IV) |
Possibly optimal flows for strong intermediate and better whitewater boaters (perhaps 4000-5000 cfs). All features should be runnable/playable. |
|
5000 -10000 cfs |
a bit pushy runnable-high runnable |
I-III+(IV) |
Highly experienced whitewater boaters. (Possibly 5,000-10,000 cfs) Some features will be great, others wash out or too big/pushy for good play. |
|
10000 -99999 cfs |
barely High-extremely High |
III-IV(V) |
Outrageously high, strong, pushy. ***CHECK RAILROAD BRIDGE BEFORE PUTTING ON! IT MAY BE IN WATER AND NOT BE PASSABLE!!!*** |
