<p>[quote user="Murphy Siding"]Volker- You're on the wrong river. The bridge at Doon is over the Little Rock River, not the Rock River. [/quote]</p> <p>Yes and no. The Little Rock River flows into the Rock River between the two gages.</p> <p>A flood on Rick River will lead to an afflux in Little Rock River as Tree68 already said. But there is another indicator: The upriver gage showed a discharge of 13,000 cfs, the down river gage a discharge of 35,000 cfs. The balance came from somewhere, most likely from the Little Rock River.</p> <p>For me this indicates that the situation on Little Rock River didn't differ significantly from that on Rock River.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
