Now 117, 87% below the 5-yr median.

I'd be happy to write that page note, but I need to know: where should I save it? Should I:

  1. Create a new file in a specific directory (path?)
  2. Append to an existing page/file?
  3. Paste the note as plain text for you to save elsewhere?

In the meantime, here's the note draft based on the data you provided:

Yampa River near Maybell — Critically Low Flow

Current discharge stands at 117 ft³/s, representing a dramatic 87% decline from the 5-year median (924 ft³/s). The month-over-month collapse (–94.3%, from 2,050 ft³/s) is particularly pronounced, indicating rapid seasonalization or drought onset. Year-over-year comparisons show sustained deficit (–73.5%), while weekly trends suggest stabilization after recent declines (–54.1% week-over-week).

Flow remains in the lowest percentile for this watershed, consistent with mid-to-late summer low-flow conditions in Colorado's upper drainage basins. Current conditions pose risks for water supply, ecological health, and irrigation schedules dependent on Yampa-Green system yields.

Once you provide the file path, I'll write it to the correct location.
