Erroneous record flows in Petrolia

Our August 4th posting (below) regarding record flows reported at the Petrolia gauge turned out to be incorrect.  On August 10th, USGS retroactively adjusted flow data, changing the August 3rd reading to 100 cubic feet per second (CFS), well below the previous record of 130 CFS recorded in 2005. 

Please stop by our Petrolia Resource Center for books, DVDs, and how-to manuals to help conserve more water in your home.
