| Important Note: The graphics above have
been modified to better reflect the individual creek configurations.
The number at the top right of each graphic represents the
approximate water depth at which water will begin to spill
from the creek. Due to the presence of floodwalls and levees
at the creek monitoring locations, creek levels can rise
several feet above the bottom of bridges before overtopping
occurs. The graphic depictions of the creeks shown above
are representative of the shape of each creek channel. It
is important to note that the actual percentage of flow capacity
for each creek varies non-uniformly with depth. Here is the
water depth for each creek monitoring point that approximately
corresponds to 50% and 70% of total flow capacity: |
