Station description: Lock and Dam #13 at Clinton, IA
Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC): 07060005
Station UTM N: 4642185
Station UTM E: 735869
UTM zone: 15

Period of record: 01/01/1986-08/04/1998
Flow conversion: 
     Occasional missing flow values (fewer than 10 total) were 
     substituted with values from the USGS gaging station at Clinton, IA
     (05420500).  A linear regression equation was calculated to substitute
     flows for these two sites.  The equation used follows:
     flow at Lock and Dam #13 = 1.0122 * Flow at Clinton Iowa (05420500)
     R2 = 0.9924

The following constituent values were removed from analysis as
possible outliers, or are below detection limits:
