- ended Discontinued gauges: 1 gauge has stopped reporting: Willow Creek At Creede, CO (last 1982). Their segments rest on fewer gauges after those years.
- flatline Willow Creek At Creede, CO: 10 runs of 30+ days at exactly the same flow: 5.0 cfs for 88 days from Jan 1, 1965; 3.0 cfs for 75 days from Dec 31, 1960; 3.0 cfs for 37 days from Mar 1, 1964. Usually an estimated period (ice, a broken gauge) rather than measured daily flow.
Values removed (0)
A reading is removed automatically only when it is impossible (for example, a daily mean above the highest flow USGS recorded that water year). Low and zero flows are never removed: rivers here really do dry up.
None.
