Stream discharge rating curves for the Fall River, Rocky Mountain National Park
Siegenthaler M. 1983. Stream discharge rating curves for the Fall River, Rocky Mountain National Park. WRFSL Project Report No. 83-5P. National Park Service, Water Resources Field Support Laboratory. Fort Collins, CO
Discharge measurements were taken at the Fall River Bridge in Horseshoe Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, for development of stream discharge rating curves. The rating curves were developed as part of sediment transport and geomorphic studies conducted by Colorado State University during the summer of 1983 to assess the response of the Fall River to the July 16, 1982 Lawn Lake dam failure. During the course of this research, an extensive record of stage readings has been compiled which enables a detailed history of discharge behavior to be put together, when combined with the rating curves. Stage readings have also been taken coincident to bedload discharge measurements, facilitating development of a sediment discharge rating curve.
