Selected low-flow characteristics of streams in the vicinity of Warwick, Orange County, New York

Base flows were measured during 1971-76 at 10 partial-record sites and three continuous-record stations on major streams in and bordering the Town of Warwick. Discharge measurements at the partial-record sites were correlated with records from three suitable continuous-record gaging stations near the town to determine 7-day, 2-year low flows and 7-day, 10-year low flows. Measurement-site descriptions are included. The information presented provides a data base that planners and managers can use in making water-management decisions.
