2017 Redwood Creek low-flow monitoring

Updated August 14, 2018

The most recent flow monitoring in Redwood Creek occurred on August 10th. Flows at seven monitoring sites ranged from 0.8 to 3.8 gallons per minute. Two sites had no flow and fish are stranded in the disconnected pools within these reaches are drying up fast.  Based on these results, if you haven't stopped pumping or diverting water, now is the time!

Data is plotted on a logarithmic scale; 0.01 represents "0" or "No flow." Measurements are rounded to the nearest tenths.
