Summary

Abstract: Variability in streamflow reconstructed from tree-ring data for Boulder Creek near Orodell, CO, shows the 2002 drought was comparable to the lowest flow in the 437-year record. The reconstructed series represents the statistically “most-likely” annual flow for each year. The 2002 drought was one of the few years in the record that the volume of streamflow dipped below 30,000 acre-feet per year.
