		The original Skunk River Bandits formed in 1997 in Iowa City (where some of the members were attending the University of Iowa) as an outlet for playing the roots and Americana music that its members so enjoyed.
		The Skunk River Bandits have, in the years since their formation, created many a riffy melody that seems to have disappeared from today's most popular bar bands.

		This is illustrated by an 1897 account in The Hawk Eye of a reporter's encounter with a group of hunters embarking on a shoot.
		It was the eighth annual outing of the Skunk River Pot Hunters -- a local band of sports apparently set upon wiping out the last vestiges of the area's rapidly disappearing wildlife.
		Finally, with much shouting and merriment the train and the hunters departed leaving the reporter to speculate that the state's newly enacted game laws were really not necessary because after a few outings of the Skunk River Pot Hunters, there would be no game left to protect.

	Understanding the Predictions
		The predictive models used by the water plant engineers are based on a flow of water in the river, usually in cubic feet per second (cfs).
		Where the river channel narrows, the depth of water for a given flow rate will be higher than in a location where the river is wider.
		It is important to understand that a prediction of 14 feet on the Skunk River north of Ames is very different from a peak of 14 feet on the south side of town.
