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: |
