Info. on Magnitude

[rchrds]

Unless I'm missing something the info on the discharge rate is exactly what I posted in my first post

"The only info I found on Little River for example is a discharge rate of 84.89³ ³/s ft. Not being a familiar with that rating I need your help."

I was hoping for mgd or cfs. Thanks anyway.

Perhaps I am confused-

84.89cfs (how did you get the superscript?)
1cf=7.48052 gal = 11.35 gal/sec
86,400 sec/day = 980640 gal/day=
0.98 MGD

Is that what you are looking for? Just some basic math- if you have a lot to do, just set up an excell spreadsheet to do them en masse.

I would also suggest that if you are doing some sort of statistical analysis, a single flow number is pretty much useless, as the spring flow varies significantly based on annual rain, river levels, and other such factors. I'm not sure how the bulletins arrive at their flow numbers (I'm sure it says in there, I dont have mine in front of me) but my guess is that is either a one time flow measurement, as in most cases, there would have been only one or two sample periods, but in the more popular springs they might be an average of a small number of samples, or in the case of say, Troy or something similiar it might actually be attached to a data-logger and be a mean flow over a period of time. Just throwing that out there.
