Garrapata Creek Stream gage project

For the first time, we now have continuos stream flow information for Garrapata Creek. We have been collecting flow data since 20 August 2001 and will post it as needed.

Here is the analyzed data for the first year ...click here to see.

This is important for several reasons. We want to make sure we don't have a water quantity problem and we need to know how much water flows year-round in the creek so that we know how long it will take for sediment in the creek to move out. The higher the flow, the quicker that happens.

Data can be downloaded from gage as often as needed....Doug looks a bit nervous about having a wet dog next to his new laptop.

"RAW" Stream Gage Data Sets Data is recorded every 15 minutes on the gage; the download covers a full 224 days. Files in the left column are in "d09" format which can only be read with the stream gage software; files in ".prn" file format can be opened in Excel; files on right are already in Excel format. These files give a date, time and pressure level. We only have analyzed data for the first year of operation. We will have more over the next year as CSUMB conducts their portion of the Watershed Assessment for hydrology.
