Keep the filtering options; those are pretty cool. When I say "drainage separator bar" I just mean some visual way of separating the drainages on the list (that only shows when sorted by drainage). In the old setup this was a gray bar across the page between the last run of one drainage and the first run of another. A couple of black lines or a change in text color would also do the same thing.

Sorting by flows would be awesome but, as you said, there are a couple of things that make this a little tricky. One of the big issues is that you can't just list them by cfs because you will have runs like Westwater that are low at 2500 while runs like Blackrock that are raging at 2000 are listed lower. It seems to me that the best way to do it would be to sort so that all of the runs listed as High show at the top, followed by Medium, Low, etc. Then within the block of runs listed as High, you could sort those by cfs/gauge height.

Flow page

Hey Paul. I'd have to say I like the changes also. Like Nick's idea of the ideal flow time for rivers and the flexibility to see the information how I would like. I agree with some color changes to make it easier to read but I am sure you are bustin' on something like that already. From a bigger picture concept and especially in the winter time I like being able to read the descriptions of rivers, whether here in CO or another state, easily from the flow page. I like the idea of people posting updates on non-gauge runs also. I also like how you can customize the view. Keep it up!

Flows Only Check Box

We have added a new feature to the flows page. You can now check the "Flows Only" check box which removes all runs with "Visual" gauges. Your setting will be remembered the next time you visit the flow page. Let me know if you have any problems with it.

Next on the to do list is the "drainage separator bar".

New Runs / Guages

We have added 3 new CO runs with gauges.

If you would like to add a run, flow levels or have pictures/video send me an email.

Sorry if this is a repeat to someone else's critique.

I think the new flows page is really hard to read. Too much information. Drop the location because I don't care what town is nearby. Move the level and the flow over next to the class and move the gauge to the far right. You may even want to drop the class altogether as you can drill down to that if you don't already know it.

This would have the effect of visually bringing the flow info closer to the river and the run name. I also think a different background color for each drainage (not river), could also help break it up a bit.

Just a quick imput. Half the runs for the Crystal River are in the Crystal River Section. The other half are under Roaring Fork Crystal River. This is very confusing in its organization. I like the page, but there is so much to process. This is probably good for people doing research on our state, but it would be nice if we (on the buzz) could narrow down the fields as stated above.

Mtn Buzz Admin... When I open the Phlows page, It asks me to download a file ftp://ftp.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov . Downloads as a notepad file named "co". What the deal?

Bring on the Snow!-)

Brendo, I have never had, seen, or heard of that problem. Wish I could help. Maybe Paul or Andy knows more?
