High water in the watershed




In case you hadn't noticed, there's been a lot of rain lately and the water level in the streams has come up quite a bit. But almost as quickly, it's fallen again. That's one of the things that's special about the watershed. The water that falls as rain isn't held very long. It either runs off the surface quickly or what little soaks in discharges quickly to the streams as baseflow.


Here's a photo at one of the bridges showing how high the water is. I've also put some more on the slideshow. Just click on the changing photos in the upper right of the page to go to the slideshow on the Flickr site.


Do you have any shots of the high water? Let us know at marshrockpa@gmail.com and we'll post them.
