Summer low flow


Today I visited Takiya River for the first time in about a month. Over the past month the river has basically shown the summer low flow condition with stage at around 40-45cm. There are some rainfall events, and one flood reached nearly 1m stage, but these are all short-lived events and the river stage quickly fell back to the summer low flow condition. Groundwater levels are decreasing steadily as indicated by the decrease in low flows between rain events. Surface soil conditions are extremely dry.

Stage = 42.5cm, Ta = 23.5C, Tw = 17.9C
