The featured chart displays average weekly river flows for the Squaw Creek in Ames at Lincoln Way (near ISU Campus). The dry summer has river flows at zero again and resembles what happened last year. Since 1990, there isn't a comparable period to what has happened in the past two years. Between 2006 through 2010, the chart shows significant flows occurring in the late fall thanks to late season rains. The Flood of 1993 shows up nicely on this chart as the high flows lasted into the next year. The forecast does have good chances of rain for this weekend, so perhaps some water can start flowing at the gauge site again!
