390 DISCHARGE AT PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS As the number of streams on which streamflow information is likely to be desired far exceeds the number of stream-gaging stations feasible to operate at one time, the Geological Survey collects limited streamflow data at sites other than stream-gaging stations. When limited streamflow data are collected on a systematic basis over a period of years for use in hydrologic analyses, the site at which the data are collected is called a partial-record station. Data collected at these partial-record stations are usable in low-flow or floodflow analyses, depending on the type of data collected. Crest-stage partial-record stations The following table contains annual maximum discharges for crest-stage stations. A crest-stage gage is a device which will register the peak stage occurring between inspections of the gage. A stage-discharge relation for each gage is developed from discharge measurements made by indirect measurements of peak flow or by current meter. The date of the maximum discharge is not always certain but is usually determined by comparison with nearby continuous-record stations, weather records, or local inquiry. Only the maximum discharge and gage height for each water year are given. Information on some lower floods may have been obtained but is not published herein. The years given in the period of record represent water years for which the annual maximum has been determined. Stations that are noted with “METWARN” are part of a flood-warning system for Rapid City and surrounding area and are equipped with real- time satellite data-collection platforms. METWARN stations are operated from April 1 to September 30.
