ABSTRACT:
	Stream discharge is collected on three small watersheds in the Fox Creek drainage within the City of Portland's Bull Run Municipal Watershed in the northwestern Oregon Cascades. Stream discharge data collection was started in October 1958 and discontinued in April 1988 on all three watersheds. Watersheds 1 and 3 were harvested from 1969 to 1972 in patch cuts encompassing 25 percent of each watershed, and Watershed 2 was left unlogged as a control watershed. High resolution temporal data is provided as well as daily, monthly and annual summary data. Streamflow data by sampling intervals are also provided from 1970 to 1981 when stream water chemistry data were being collected.

ENTITY TITLES:
1	Corrected instantaneous stage height with flow calculations (Oct 1 1957 - Apr 26 1988)	METADATA	DATA
	These data are the raw data and are collected from charts at uneven intervals. Please use Entity 5 (the interactive FLOW program) to download high temporal resolution streamflow data for Fox Creek small watersheds.
2	Daily streamflow summaries (Oct 1 1957 - Apr 25 1988)	METADATA	DATA
3	Monthly streamflow summaries (Oct 1 1957 - Apr 1 1987)	METADATA	DATA
4	Annual streamflow summaries by wateryear (October 1 - September 30) (Oct 1 1957 - Oct 1 1987)	METADATA	DATA
5	Instantaneous and total discharge for requested time intervals (Oct 1 1957 - Apr 26 1988)	METADATA	DATA
	This is the interactive FLOW program which allows downloads of all Fox Creek small watersheds for any time period at user-specified time intervals. Rating equations can also be displayed.
6	Flow summaries for sediment and nutrient sampling periods (Oct 1 1969 - Nov 24 1981)	METADATA	DATA
	Total flow is summarized, generally in 3 week periods, for inclusion with stream sampling data in CF003.
