*Note: A value of 6,000 ft3/s indicates a required flow of less than or equal to 6,000
ft3/s. Many sites had stage requirements well below the calibrated range of the
hydraulic model.
Using stage-discharge rating curves generated by
elevations corresponding to the minimum dis-
charge value of 6,000 ft3/s employed in HEC-2.
HEC-2 at each site, it was possible to turn the
critical shut-off stages for an intake into a required
local discharge. The resulting discharges are
unreliable and is unnecessary for the purposes of
shown in Table 10 along with the minimum dis-
this study. These minimum flow requirements are
charges required to satisfy all water intakes within
also shown graphically in Figure 21. For the re-
river reaches defined by two adjacent discharge
mainder of the report we will use the reach-based
gaging stations. Discharge requirements listed as
minimum flow requirement distribution as a basis
being equal to 6,000 ft3/s include those sites hav-
for required releases from Gavins Point Dam.
