Above:
Meramec
River near Eureka, MO during the low flow conditions
of October, 2000, with a stage
of about 1.8 feet and discharge
about 500 cfs (cubic feet per
second).
Below: Meramec River near the flow peak of 123,000 cfs on
March 22, 2008, corresponding
to a stage of 40.0 feet, following
heavy rains a few days earlier.
For comparison, the average
flow of the lower Missouri
River is about 80,000 cfs,
yet its watershed is 130x larger than
Meramec River basin.
