Toronto (01433100), Cliff Lake (01433200), and Swinging Bridge
Reservoirs (01433000) and smaller reservoirs. Large diurnal
fluctuations at medium and low flows caused by powerplants on tributary

releases and spill) impounded for release during periods of low flow in
the lower Delaware River basin, as directed by the Delaware River
Master. Satellite and telephone gage-height telemeter and National
