Fig. B1. Examples of correlations between in-stream gauge readings and floodplain inundation: (A) inundated area (km²) vs. discharge (m3/s) from the Ogeechee River, USA (adapted from Benke et al. 2000); (B) inundated area (km²) vs. stage height (m) for Cooper Creek, Australia (adapted from Cobon and Toombs 2007). See also Hamilton et al. (2002) for several South American examples.
