For Star subscribers: More water than usual is flowing later into the spring in Sabino Creek, the Rillito River and other streams. 'Running water always makes it wonderful; just to have it so much longer in the year is fantastic,'…
Tony Davis A ribbon of water trickled Wednesday morning through an opening in a rock-walled crossing of Sabino Creek, along the paved road winding through Sabino Canyon.

The flows were recorded for the Watershed Management Group, which has long advocated for preserving and enhancing stream flows and for reducing groundwater pumping to allow streams to flow more often.
This year, average monthly flows at the gauge have exceeded the monthly averages covering the period 1991 through 2022 for every month except April. Sabino also ran continuously for an extended period both this and last year, from July 27, 2022 until June 1 at the U.S.G.S. stream gauge site. That year, the creek ran dry 216 days, including 136 straight dry days from late summer through the fall, the federal agency's records show. That was the longest consecutive stretch of dry days since the U.S.G.S. started keeping records at Sabino in the 1980s.
Its monthly average flows at the gauge were higher than their 21st-century averages in January, February and March, the only months this year for which such data is yet available. Its January 2023 flow was the highest flow for that month on the creek since the start of the 21st century, U.S.G.S. records show. March 2023 saw the third-highest March flow on record in this century, and the February 2023 flow was the sixth-highest for that month.
