Late Winter/Early Spring Site Early Summer Site
- The hydraulic response of the floodplain was very similar in both events
-Steady state was reached in Flood 2 and not in Flood 1
-Flood 2 had a quicker increase in storage volume

Flood 1 Conductance
Based on the graph, we can observe that there is no clear spike in conductivity for cross section one as compared to cross section three. This could be due to the long residence time in the basin consisting of cross sections one and two. This is most likely the result of the vast amount of vegetation that blossomed between the summer flood and the early spring flood. The vegetation also was the likely cause of the floodplain reaching maximum storage capacity sooner.
