Caption: Days on which average flow in the Scott River, as measured by the USGS gauge below Ft. Jones, falls below 40 cubic feet per second seem to have increased substantially since 1975. Low flows reduce fish habitat available for juvenile salmon and steelhead rearing and compound problems related to high water temperatures. A lower volume of water is more subject to warming. The calculation of the number of days was calculated by Dr. Jan Derksen for the KRIS project. See Info Links for more information.
