River flows are measured at various USGS stations on the Klamath River. Flows are typically read in “cubic feet per second” (CFS), which indicates the volume of water moving by the station. Flow data is typically updated every hour. The New Klamath is the approximate 45 miles of river that was most impacted by dam removal in regard to flow. This includes sections that were previously reservoirs, were fully or partially dewatered, or experienced artificial peaking flows due to hydropower production. The New Klamath has three stations that report water volume: Keno, Spring Island (J.C. Boyle), and Iron Gate.
