There were many problems associated with the flow measurements at 

 the pond site. For example, exact size of the drainage basin is unknown 

 because the site is so flat. Also, the 1972 flow measurements are relative 

 only, as it was difficult to make an accurate calibration. Finally the 

 Parshall Flume was not operative on 3 days in June (11 to 13) when the 

 flow was highest. 



For comparison, data are included from Esatkuat Creek (Figure 1- 

 1), near Barrow. This creek drains an area of 3.8 km^ and flows into 

 Esatkuat Lagoon near the village of Barrow. Its flow has been monitored 

 for several years by the U. S. Geological Survey. 



In 1973 the runoff began on 10 June from the small channels on the 

 pond site (weir 4) but began a day later in the much larger Esatkuat Creek 

 (Figure 3-7). Flow in the large channel on the pond site (weir 1) lagged the 

 small channel flow slightly, but overall the flow began with amazing 



June 1973
