Photos From Monitoring on Redwood Creek, South Fork Eel River
Updated November 8th, 2020
The flow in Redwood Creek is still at crisis level. We've had a couple of rain showers recently, but there hasn't been enough rain yet to show an impact on the stream. Eight out of ten monitoring sites on Redwood Creek have no flow. Four of the pools where we measure water level and dissolved oxygen are completly dry. Many pools with water are isolated without running water between them. There is low dissolved oxygen which is required for fish to respire. Usually after mid-October, stream flow starts increasing even without rain because trees are using less water.
Please do what you can to conserve water and avoid diverting water from the stream.

The average of a certain year is the mean flow of all the monitoring sites from around that time.
Data is plotted on a logarithmic scale; 0.01 represents "0" or "No flow." Measurements are rounded to the nearest tenths.
