Used all almost all 2022 and 2023 Qm's due to bridge replacement. Breakpoint was applied to due change in slope over the seciton control. Left side is shallow and slow at lower stages. Balance all Qm's and used to historic high flow measurements and Qm 796. Qm 801 was indirectly used and more wieght put on Qm 806 on the low end. Used a combination of historic offsets and best determination of offset based on control changes and slope changes.
