A million gallons a day is a million gallons in 1440 minutes, so thats 694 gallons a minute.

694 gpm = 1.546 cfs

Impressive.

Maybe I did the math wrong.

Green to Atlantic, FB to Gulf. Yes, cfs is a "guess" of sorts, but stage height readings would concur w/ this record. farmschooler New

"Measured Discharge" also supports recent French Broad CFS readings at Asheville blutopaddle New
