PERIOD OF RECORD - May 1914 to current year. Records for water years 1933-36 incomplete; monthly and yearly estimates published in WSP 1315-A.
GAGE - Water-stage recorder. Elevation of gage is 350 ft above NGVD of 1929, from topographic map. Prior to Apr. 29, 1916, nonrecording gage at site 1,000 ft upstream at different datum.

COOPERATION - Records were provided by Oakdale and South San Joaquin Irrigation District, under general supervision of the U.S. Geological Survey, in connection with Federal Energy Regulatory Commission project no. 2067.
REMARKS - Records for 2015 water year did not meet U. S. Geological Survey standards and were not published. Records for 2016 water year not published because records not received.
