As part of the San Joaquin River Restoration Program, the physical and biological effects of flows are monitored along the San Joaquin River from Friant Dam to the confluence of the Merced River. An Annual Technical Report documents the monitoring program and provides results from prior releases on a regular schedule. Making decisions on release requires information prior to the compilation and release of the Annual Technical Report. The following pages provide the data to support operations for the SJRRP.
Flow Status
July 16, 2011: 8:00 pm: Flood release from Friant Dam decreased to 350 cfs.
The Flow Schedule section describes the process for how Interim Flows are determined, scheduled, evaluated and released. This section also includes links to recent documents created through this process. The process of scheduling flows is documented in the Restoration Flow Guidelines.
The Surface Water section contains recent data used to determine flow rates at specific flow compliance locations that may assist in determining short-term changes in releases.
Visit here for raw data files. Also, after-the-fact accounting of flow rates at specific flow compliance locations enables calculation of water for recirculation in addition to unexpected seepage losses.
