The water rights

Amounts are what each owner reported to the State Water Board, not measurements by Water Audit California. Monthly amounts begin in 2014; reports through 2020 cover calendar years, 2021 covers January to September, and later reports cover water years (October to September). A report filed twice with the same amounts is counted once, and a report far above its right's usual amount is set aside as a likely unit error.

About this data

Water level at gage: depth of water above the sensor, relative to the level recorded when the logger was installed. It is not a surveyed river stage and can't be compared between gages.

7-day average daily high temperature (7DADM): the mean of the daily maximum water temperature over seven consecutive local days, calculated only when all seven days are complete. The steelhead bands below are applied to that value, never to a single reading.

All times shown are gage-local time (America/Los_Angeles), the same zone the site is configured for; data files carry UTC timestamps.

Steelhead water-temperature bands, applied to the 7-day average daily high.
Band 7-day average daily high What it means
Good at or below 60.8 °F Good for young steelhead
Stressful above 60.8 °F and below 71.6 °F Stressful: slower growth, more disease
Dangerous at or above 71.6 °F Dangerous: can kill steelhead
Federal reference 68.0 °F Federal recovery-plan limit for suitable summer rearing.
Heat spike 75.2 °F A single reading or daily high at or above this value.

Biological thresholds from published research (EPA 2003 and others), not legal limits. Sources: EPA Region 10 (2003) Tables 1, 3, and 4; NMFS 2016 recovery plan, Vol. IV; WDOE 2002 via Carter 2005; Nielsen et al. 1994; Sullivan et al. 2000.

Thresholds are pending scientific review.

Seasonal limits for spawning and smoltification are configured but not applied.

Measurements come from LI-COR Cloud loggers and configured CDEC stations, published by Water Audit California.
