Figure 4-5: Lovers Creek flow regime, extreme low flows are flows with a return interval of 10 years,
low flows are less than the 75th percentile flow, moderate flows are greater than the 75th
percentile flow, high flows have a return interval of 2 years, and extreme high flows have a
return period of 10 years or more. 149
