[QUOTE="Allen, post: 346202, member: 389"] You are missing the obvious here. Given all other inputs holding relatively constant, and with a river I would have thought it would be simple enough to use as an example, the human effects on the river flow are pretty amazing. Around 2,500 years ago we were coming out of the Hypsithermal period where things were generally believed to be warmer and drier around here. Back then the Sheyenne National Grasslands was literally a desert-like area, complete with sand dunes. You can still see the sand dunes today but they are covered in vegetation. Generally speaking, it is post the Hypsithermal period where the climate was arguably as stable as it ever gets and with that being true...I'd say the flow in the James River 2,000 years ago was most likely similar to that of the very early 1900s.
