      in Washington and the percentage of the current monthly mean with

      lists the percentage of the 3-month (season) cumulative discharge
      with the long-term average seasonal cumulative discharge, and the
      percentage of the water year to-date cumulative discharge with the
      long-term average cumulative discharge.

      NOTE:  The data listed here are PROVISIONAL and subject to review
             and change.  Updated monthly means are available from the
             U.S. Geological Survey Public Information Officer.

   NOTE:  The percentages are the monthly mean discharge compared to the
          long-term mean value for three catagories:
          (1) the monthly mean for the period of record, 
          (2) the period of record cumulative 3-months discharge,
          (3) the period of record cumulative discharge for the water year.
