| Abstract/Description or Keywords | This is the 2008 update report for the water SEKID water supply study. The 2003-2008 data summary tables are provided in Appendix A. The period of record for the four stations varies from year to year depending when the stations are ice-free, however data is typically collected from May 1st through October 31st. The unusual 2008 spring weather was problematic for the stations operation. A warm period during late April started to break up the stream ice; however, this warm period was followed by a freezing period, which caused the partly broken ice on several streams to re-freeze. This resulted in ice damming and water flowing overtop of the ice. The water on ice situation resulted in false high water readings and stream discharge summaries could not be provided for most of May 2008. streamflow, water supply, water quantity, water yield |
