SURFACE-WATER RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - October 1939 to current year. Monthly discharge only for some periods, published in WSP 1315-B. Published as "at Guerneville," prior to October 1954, and as "near Guerneville," October 1954 to September 2017.

GAGE - Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 20.14 ft above NGVD of 1929. Prior to Oct. 1, 1954, nonrecording gage at bridge 5.3 mi downstream at datum 8.58 ft lower. Oct. 1, 1954, to Oct. 23, 1974, at site 0.7 mi downstream at datum 2.75 ft lower. Supplementary water-stage recorder 2.1 mi downstream used during periods of low flow, 1948-54.

REMARKS - Flow regulated by Lake Mendocino 77 mi upstream, beginning November 1958, and by Lake Sonoma 26 mi upstream, beginning October 1983. Many diversions upstream from station for irrigation of about 29,000 acres. Flow also affected by diversion into basin (see REMARKS for East Fork Russian River stations), and by diversion for municipal use at Wohler Pumping Plant 4.0 mi upstream beginning in May 1959. See schematic diagram of Russian River Basin available from the California Water Science Center.

EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum discharge, 102,000 ft³/s, Feb. 18, 1986, gage height, 48.56 ft, from rating curve extended above 57,000 ft³/s, maximum gage height, 49.7 ft, Dec. 23, 1955, site and datum then in use, from floodmarks; minimum daily discharge, 0.75 ft³/s, May 6, 1977.
