Maybe because it's Friday and I'm thicker than usual -- refresh for me
what this tracer is going to tell us, though? If you find a vestigal
sandbar 100 meters up a cliff it must have either come from a
catastrophic flood or ponding -- I'm not sure what more the tracer
tells you without some dating mechanism that goes along?
Another question that has tickled my imagination for some time now --
750000 cfs (to pick a number) sounds impressive, but can we relate it
to something more concrete -- for example, would the water reach the
footbridge at Phantom? My intuition tells me that the velocity of the
water, past some point, is purely determined by the overall slope of
the bed, which means that at any point you should be able to
calculate (to a rough approximation) the water level. Is this true,
or are there too many variables to make this feasible?
