This graph is meant to give a quick overview of the flow ranges, variability, and probability of flows of a river segment during the different flow periods of a river; which are High Flows from 0 to 10 percent flow interval, Moist Conditions 10-40, Mid-Range Flows 40-60, Dry Conditions 60-90, and Low Flows 90-100 (Cleland 2003).\nThe grey graphed lines are duration curves for each individual year within the analysis period or 'annual flow duration curves'.\nReferences:\nStream flow data and water quality test data retrieved from the U.S. Geological Survey, National Water Information System: Web Interface. http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis, accessed: 2015-04-30 10:39\nCleland, B.
