Station description: Root River near Houston, MN
Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC): 07040008
Station UTM N: 4846952
Station UTM E: 615120
UTM zone: 15
Drainage area at flow station: 1,270 mi2
Period of record: 05/01/1929-11/22/1983 and 10/01/1990-09/30/1997
Flow conversion: none

The following constituent values were removed from analysis as
possible outliers, or were below detection limits: none

Additional comments:
The period of record for flow at the North Fork of the Bad Axe River 
near Genoa, WI (05387100) is not sufficient to cover the entire period 
of record for the constituent data.  Discharge at the sample site is 
estimated by linear regression with the Root River at Houston, MN (05385000)
and a land/area conversion factor (see flow conversion above).  
The conversion equation used was: discharge at North Fork Bad Axe River near 
Genoa, WI = 0.026 x flow of Root River at Houston, MN
R2 = 0.4769
