For a comparison, the CCGS vist of the Narrows in 2007 found much more water in the river flowing several hundred cubic feet per second. In 2009 there was no water coming down the river channel, the only source of water was from seepage in the sides of the canyon and from the bottom of the river channel. With the severe drought it was surprising to see the ferns on the walls still green and thriving, although diminished from the very wet year 2007.
