Water-Year
Summary
instructions
and
information
- Water-Year Summary reports summarize a year of hydrologic data in a printer-friendly format.
- For water years 2014 onward, choose a water year and parameter and an on-demand Water-Year Summary report will be generated.
- For water years 2006 through 2013, choose a water year and an Annual Water Data Report will be provided.
- For water years 2005 and earlier, Annual Water Data Reports may be available in digital format.
- Not all sites have reports available for every water year.
USGS Water-Year Summary 2024
11274550 San Joaquin River near Crows Landing, CA
LOCATION - Lat 37°25'55.88", long 121°00'48.04" referenced to North American Datum of 1983, in NE 1/4 NE 1/4 sec.07, T.6 S., R.9 E., Stanislaus County, CA, Hydrologic Unit 18040002, on right bank, 150 ft downstream from bridge on Crows Landing Road, 350 ft west of South Carpenter Road, and 4.3 mi northeast of Crows Landing.
DRAINAGE AREA - 9,694 mi².
SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - October 1995 to current year.
GAGE - Water-stage recorder with an electronic crest-stage gage. Datum of gage is 0.00 ft above NGVD of 1929 and 2.58 ft above NAVD of 1988.
REMARKS - Natural flow of stream affected by storage reservoirs, ground-water withdrawals, diversions for irrigation, and imported water; low flows consist mainly of return water from irrigated areas.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum discharge, 38,000 ft³/s, Jan. 28, 1997, gage height, 59.23 ft, from rating curve extended above 32,100 ft³/s; minimum daily, 7.5 ft³/s, Aug. 6, 2015.
WATER-QUALITY RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD -
DISCRETE WATER-QUALITY DATA:
CHEMICAL DATA: Water years January 1962 to June 1966, July 2000 to November 2001, 2014-2017.
CONTINUOUS WATER-QUALITY DATA:
SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE: Water years January 1996 to current year. (water years 1996-2023, daily).
WATER TEMPERATURE: Water years January 1996 to current year. (water years 1996-2023, daily).
INSTRUMENTATION - Water-quality monitor since January 1996.
REMARKS - Specific conductance and water temperature values are affected by irrigation return flow.
Specific conductance records for water years 2016, 2015 and 2014 rated excellent except for some periods, which range from good to poor.
Water temperature records for 2016 water year rated excellent. 2015 and 2014 water years rated excellent except for some periods, which are rated good to poor.
The practice of assigning qualitative accuracy ratings to continuous water-quality data was discontinued in water year 2017.
Specific conductance records for water years 2016, 2015 and 2014 rated excellent except for some periods, which range from good to poor.
