Going with the Flow 2013

This is the original 2013 report. The Arizona Water Sentinels have been making monthly discharge measurements at three sites on the upper Verde River since December 2006 in order to gain a better understanding about what is happening to the base flow of the river. Our monthly discharge measurements and USGS and SRP stream gage records show that base flow has decreased over the last six years. Base flow has, in general, been less than the historic average base flow as determined over a 49-year period of record at the USGS Paulden stream gage.
