For perspective - 3 gallons a second (180 per minute) is a 2-3" pipe at maximum possible flow rate. In other words, a decent sized fire hose.

For perspective, Strawberry Creek is surrounded by desert or semi-arid biomes, so 3 gallons/second is a lot of water for the area.

I should have been more clear, I think that 3 gallons/second is quite a lot of water; much more than many creeks that I enjoy in the outdoors.
