 OSU Streamflow Tutorial - Power Generation Example: Chetco River
After delineating the watershed boundary of the North Fork of the Chetco River on a topographic map, the drainage area was estimated using graph paper.  The drainage area for the North Fork of the Chetco River is approximately 40 square miles.  Drainage area could also be determined using a GIS.
With this drainage area the annual discharge is expected to be approximately 202 cfs.  The annual flow pattern shows low flows during the summer months and high flows during the winter months.  December, January and February have the highest flows.
The streamflow data for the main stem of the Chetco River must be scaled down to adjust for the smaller drainage area of the North Fork of the Chetco River.  Streamflow values can be scaled using the ratio of drainage areas (40 sq mi/271 sq mi).
