Rating Curves• Difficult to track changes and adjustments
How about a field called DATETIME_CREATED that will have the date of last change
How about just update the individual Rating Curves as changes are made
• Need instruction on how to find date changed and apply shifts # //RATING_DATETIME BEGIN=20041001000000 BZONE=CDT END=20050930235959 EZONE=CDT AGING=A # //RATING_DATETIME BEGIN=20051001000000 BZONE=CDT END=23821230180000 EZONE=CST AGING=W # //SHIFT_PREV BEGIN="20061005091500" BZONE="CDT" END="--------------" EZONE="---“

• The national site is great but still relatively new… Can we get more focus on its improvement Continued support and enhancement will provide benefits to both USACE and
NWS
