GAGE - Water-stage recorder and concrete control since August 1949. Elevation of gage is 2,420 ft, referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929. Prior to June 23, 1937, water-stage recorder at site 0.5 mi upstream at different elevation. June 23, 1937, to October 1952, water-stage recorder at site 100 ft downstream at present elevation.
COOPERATION - This is one of a number of stations which are maintained jointly by the United States and Canada.
REMARKS - Natural flow of stream is affected by several storage reservoirs, diversions for irrigation of about 14,500 acres, and return flow from irrigated areas. Water may be diverted into or from Battle Creek basin through Cypress Lake.
