   pumped into Hoopes Reservoir and is released into Red Clay Creek during periods of low flow. Water from
   Red Clay Creek is used for municipal supply. U.S. Geological Survey satellite data-collection platform at
   station. Water-quality records for some prior periods have been collected at this location.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD.--Maximum discharge, 15,600 ft3/s, Sept. 15, 2003, gage height, 17.62 ft;
   minimum discharge, 2.90 ft3/s, Sept. 4, 1966.
COOPERATION.--Funding for the operation of this station is provided by the Delaware Geological Survey
   and the U. S. Geological Survey.
