<strong>the</strong> South Yamhill River near Whiteson (14194000)at RM 27.9 was used as <strong>the</strong> upstream boundary input.Subbasin hydrographs <strong>for</strong> Cozine, Hawn, <strong>and</strong> PalmerCreeks, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> North Yamhill River were simulatedby PRMS modeling <strong>and</strong> input to <strong>the</strong> Willamette WDMfile.Figure 24 shows results of routing <strong>the</strong> inputflow 23.4 miles downstream to <strong>the</strong> mouth (drainagearea is approximately 780 mi 2 ). There were no downstreamstream-gaging-station records with concurrentprecipitation records available, so comparisonsbetween simulated <strong>and</strong> observed flows could notbe made. Although observed flow is available atLafayette (14197500) from 1908–14 <strong>and</strong> 1929–32,precipitation data were not yet being collected in ornear <strong>the</strong> basin. PRMS was used to simulate 269 mi 2 ofintervening drainage area (35 percent of <strong>the</strong> basin).There were no statistical analyses <strong>for</strong> calibration orverification <strong>for</strong> this basin. Broad <strong>and</strong> Collins (1996)report that an average of about 45 ft 3 /s was consumedin <strong>the</strong> basin in 1990. This magnitude of water consumptionwould probably decrease summer low flowssuch that simulated flows <strong>for</strong> this period would behigher than observed flows.Santiam RiverThe mapped <strong>and</strong> schematized Santiam Riverstream network is shown on figure 25. The SantiamRiver is schematized as a three-branch network withsix tributary inflows <strong>and</strong> four diversion outflows.
