	Watershed, West Osage River, Hydrology Chapter
		Hydrological data for the West Osage River Basin gaging stations in the Little Osage River (1950-1990) at Fulton, Kansas; Marmaton River (1972-1990) at Marmaton, Kansas; and Marais des Cygnes River (1959-1990) near the Kansas/Missouri state line are summarized in Table 15.
		This larger discharge for the Marmaton River is probably due to the effect of large dams on the Marais des Cygnes River in Kansas which reduce flood peak discharges on the Marais des Cygnes, even though its watershed is 11 times larger than the Marmaton's.
		Seventeen percent of the watershed area is controlled by 368 structures, including 60% of the Marmaton, 13% of the Marais des Cygnes and 2% of the Little Osage rivers in Kansas (Table 18).

	Osage Fork River, Missouri
		The river is a Class I to II stream with a modest 5 fpm gradient that is characterized by many twists and turns (though nowhere NEAR as crooked as the Gasconade!), small rapids and riffles and frequent log jams and overhanging brush strainers, especially where the river bends sharply.
		Depending upon your desired length of time on the river and the period when you are coming to the river, the upper half of the Osage Fork River is best paddled from February through mid-June, and possibly as early as November or December with sufficient late-fall and early winter rains.
		The river earns its Class I to II rating because of the potential for log jams at sharp bends, where they are often hard to see until you are upon them.

		On Saturday, May 6th, 2006, Missouri River Relief hosted a river clean-up at Bonnots Mill on the Osage River, approximately two miles from the confluence of the Osage and Missouri Rivers.
		Most of these events are measured by “numbers.” In recapping a clean-up we always refer to these “numbers”, such as the “number” of volunteers, boats used for the event, bags of trash, tires, stoves, refrigerators, the miles of shore we cleaned, and the tonnage of scrap.
		Out on the river, we are all the same and thus, these “moments” have no boundaries or restrictions as to who can have them.
