Precipitation and Flow Rates
The average annual precipitation in the Carbonera Creek watershed ranges from 85 to 120 centimeters per year, ninety percent of this falling between November and April. Carbonera Creek flows at an average of 0.8 to 1.0 cubic foot per second (0.023 to 0.028 m3/s). Lower Bean Creek has a high average flow of 3.0 cubic feet per second (0.085 m3/s). However, the flow in both creeks greatly depends on the season; in fact, flows in these creeks typically drop dramatically during the dry summer season.

Famous quotes containing the words flow and/or rates:
“Logic and fact keep interfering with the easy flow of conversation.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Families suffered badly under industrialization, but they survived, and the lives of men, women, and children improved. Children, once marginal and exploited figures, have moved to a position of greater protection and respect,... The historic decline in the overall death rates for children is an astonishing social fact, notwithstanding the disgraceful infant mortality figures for the poor and minorities. Like the decline in death from childbirth for women, this is a stunning achievement.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
