Well remember just a bit ago when I was asking about the 2500 to 2800 Surplus we are running each day through town here above the actual release amount? Well now somehow we've magically gone to a couple hundred deficit which is fairly impressive and theoretically impossible unless we have the most insane evaporation amount ever.
I believe the advertised accuracy of the USGS measurement technique is 5%. Or, it was the last time I checked.
