plant upstream from station. Diversion upstream from station during
navigation season for Delaware and Hudson Canal, 1901-19. Diversion
from Rondout Creek through the emergency connection to the Delaware
Aqueduct at Lackawack for New York City water supply during April 1944
to May 1951. Since October 1950, flow regulated by Rondout Reservoir
(see 01366400). Subsequent to May 1951, entire flow except for period
of spilling, diverted from Rondout Reservoir for New York City water
supply. Discharge records for this station now represent the natural
flow from 288 mi2 together with spillage during high flow
from Rondout Reservoir. Satellite and telephone gage-height telemeter
at station.
