High flows often change the configuration of the river, which can lead to inaccurate real-time flow readings. For this reason, real-time stream flow data are always provisional and subject to change with validation flow measurements. The U.S. Geological Survey will continue making validation flow measurements this week throughout the remainder of the regularly scheduled high flow releases. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Vladimir Script"'>Andreas Krause<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>Trinity River Restoration Program<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Phone: 530-623-1800<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Email: <a href="mailto:akrause@usbr.gov"><span style='color:blue'>akrause@usbr.gov</span></a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Website: <a href="http://www.trrp.net/"><span style='color:blue'>www.trrp.net</span></a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
