From Deerfield Academy

 

 

 

Looking towards Deerfield River and the Deerfield treatment plant in the distance. Water in the foreground has flooded fields below Deerfield Academy. Flows on this date (February 26, 2016) were about 20,000 cubic feet per second; during Tropical Storm Irene, the Deerfield ran over 90,000 CFS at this location.

The previous day's heavy rains flooded these fields adjacent to the Deerfield River, which runs just beyond the trees at the far edge of the fields.

The Deerfield treatment plant is off to the right, approximately a quarter mile downstream.
