Warnings (2)
- warning: gap Nutrioso Creek Abv Nelson Res Nr Springerville, AZ: 1 gap of 60+ days inside the record (9,374 days in all). Longest: Oct 1, 1982 to May 30, 2008 (9,374 days).
- warning: peak conflict Nutrioso Creek At Springerville, AZ: 3 approved USGS daily values exceed that water year's USGS annual peak, in water year 2008 (e.g. 1 cfs on Sep 5, 2008 against a peak of 0). A day's mean cannot exceed the year's peak, so one of the two USGS records is wrong for those years; the daily values are kept.
