Task 1: Ruby River near Alder, MT In 1947, a USGS gauging station near Alder, MT started measuring peak streamflow and stage for the Ruby-and then, inexplicably, stopped collecting data in 1953. Nonetheless, the seven years' worth of data are sufficient to make predictions about the relationship between discharge, stage, and RI. The complete set of data are shown here: Peak Q(cfs) Stage at peak Q (ft) est. El (W) log(est.
