  8. Rivers of North America says that of this total only about 170,000 mi2 (450,000 km2) of the basin contribute water to the river.[19] The University of Texas (UT) says, "The river collects rain, snowmelt and spring water from an area [of] about 215,338 mi2 [557,722 km2] including closed basins."[17] It says that 87,020 mi2 (225,380 km2) of the basin (about 48 percent), not counting closed basins, are in Mexico, while 93,821 mi2 (242,994 km2) (about 52 percent) are in the United States.[17] Kammerer cites a total basin size of 336,000 mi2 (870,000 km2).[9]
  9. According to the Utah Division of Water Resources, 75 mi (121 km) of the river are in Mexico. This amounts to about 5 percent of the main-stem length.[20] Of this, 17 mi (27 km) form the border between Mexico and the United States.[21]
  10. The United Nations Environment Programme cites a total basin size of 246,000 mi2 (637,000 km2), split between 2,000 mi2 (5,200 km2) (about 1 percent) in Mexico and 244,000 mi2 (632,000 km2) (about 99 percent) in the United States.[21]
  11. Derived by subtracting the length of the East Fork Arkansas River of roughly 16 mi (26 km)[25] from Kammerer's total of 1,459 mi (2,348 km).[9]
  12. About 498 mi (801 km) are in Canada.[7] This amounts to about 40 percent of the main-stem length.
  13. The Atlas of Canada lists the total watershed at 259,200 mi2 (671,300 km2), split between 39,700 mi2 (102,800 km2) (about 15 percent) in Canada and 219,500 mi2 (568,500 km2) (about 85 percent) in the United States.[7] Kammerer's figure for the total watershed is 265,000 mi2 (690,000 km2).[9]
  14. This is the combined length, 1,360 mi (2,190 km),[31] of the main stem, Prairie Dog Town Fork Red River, and Tierra Blanca Creek minus the lengths of the latter two, 160 mi (260 km)[32] and 75 mi (121 km).[33] Kammerer gives the length as 1,290 mi (2,080 km).[9]
  15. Kammerer: 93,200 mi2.[9]
  16. Kammerer: 56,000 ft3/s (1,600 m3)[9]
  17. Also known as the Dakota River or Jim River and not to be confused with the James River of Virginia.
  18. This is the average discharge for the years 1982–94, derived by adding the discharge for each of these years and dividing by 13.
  19. According to The Canadian Encyclopedia, a 110-mi (170 km) stretch of the river flows through Canada. This amounts to about 18 percent of the main-stem length.[78]
  20. The Atlas of Canada: 23,600 mi2 (61,200 km2) split between 8,300 mi2 (21,600 km2) (about 35 percent) in Canada and 15,300 mi2 (39,600 km2) (about 65 percent) in the United States.[7]
  21. According to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, a 115-mi (185 km) stretch of the river forms part of the U.S.–Canada border. This amounts to about 19 percent of the main-stem length.[85]
  22. Kammerer: 396,000 mi2 (1,030,000 km2).[9] The Atlas of Canada: 519,000 mi2 (1,344,200 km2), of which 324,000 mi2 (839,200 km2) (about 62 percent) is in Canada and 195,000 mi2 (505,000 km2) (about 38 percent) is in the United States.[7]
  23. Kammerer: 348,000 ft3/s (9,900 m3/s).[9]
  24. Of this total, 232 mi2 (600 km2) (about 0.4 percent) are in the Mexican state of सोनोरा, and the rest is in the United States.[92]
  25. Rivers of North America describes the discharge as less than 210 ft3/s (6 m3/s.
  26. This is the size of the basin upstream of a stream gauge near Kindred and at river mile 67.9 (river kilometer 109.3).[95]
  27. This is the average flow measured by a stream gauge near Kindred and at river mile 67.9 (river kilometer 109.3).[95]
  28. The main-stem length is calculated by subtracting the length of the Nabesna River from Kammerer's total of 659 mi (1,061 km).[9] The Nabesna River is roughly 75 mi (121 km) long, calculated by adding the 60 mi (97 km) from the Nabesna mouth to Camp Creek[96] to the distance, 15 mi (24 km), from Camp Creek to Nabesna Glacier,[97] Kammerer's most remote source for the Tanana.
  29. Reflects only that part of the basin above a stream gauge at river mile 43.3 (river kilometer 69.7) near Enterprise.[101]
  30. Measured by a stream gauge at river mile 43.3 (river kilometer 69.7) near Enterprise.[101]
  31. This is only a close approximation of the entire basin. It does not include a small fraction of the basin below the river gauge, located about 25 mi (40 km) upstream of the river mouth.
  32. This is the average discharge for the years 1990–2010, derived by adding the discharge for each of these years and dividing by 21.
  33. According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, 394 mi (634 km) are in the United States. This amounts to about 72 percent of the main-stem length.[111]
  34. Of the total basin, 53,500 mi2 (138,600 km2) (about 48 percent) are in Canada and 57,500 mi2 (148,900 km2) (about 52 percent) are in the United States.[7]
