Horokiri Stream at Snodgrass
Daily maximum flow and suspended sediment concentration (SSC) for the 2018/19 monitoring season. SSC is predicted using a turbidity vs discrete SSC model that is updated annually, see last year’s report for more information. The flow event lines represent the flow level at which we would expect n years before another event that size.
