| Description | In 1988 Chapter 173-511 WAC established minimum instream flow requirements for the lower reach of the Nisqually River, but a gage for the river mile (RM) 4.3 control point was never established. The purpose of this study was to collect and analyze data for this location, to determine whether instream flows were being met. The study method included using a pressure transducer to collect stage data from 8/8/00 through 11/5/01, excepting some minor data gaps and one significant lapse in December of 2000. The collected data suggests that Nisqually River flows were above the established minimum flows during all but portions of six days during the entire gaged period. Based on the potential for streamflow measurement error, however, there is actually a range of days over which the data suggest that minimum flows might not have been met. | ||||
