Hydrologic Data From Nation, Kandik, and Yukon Rivers, Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve, Alaska
Flow data were collected from two adjacent rivers in Yukon Charley Rivers National Preserve, Alaska the Nation River (during 1991 2000) and the Kandik River (1994-2000) and from the Yukon River (1950-2000) at Eagle, Alaska, upstream from the boundary of the preserve. These flow records indicate that...
