Hi Meena,
I don't think we have a prescribed rule for resolving temporary weather-induced
diversions from the normal drainage, but in the interest of consistency their
ephemeral nature weighs against their inclusion.
On similar grounds, I think that man-made diversions of a relatively permanent
What if water runs in both directions depending upon precipitation? It happens

St. Lawrence basins (The Cayuga Lake Basin is part of the St.
Lawrence drainage) was "somewhere between Belle School Rd and Ridgeway Road."

Congratulations to Bill Podulka & friends for finding Catbird, Towhee, and
Field Sparrow on (?) Belle School Rd for the Christmas count. Dave Nutter
raised the question of whether they are in or out of the Cayuga Lake basin (for
