Daily Dreamflows for Sun, May 29, 2005
California and Nevada

This flow information reflects conditions only at the time measurements were taken.  Flows marked "est" or "rough" are estimates based on other flow values, and may therefore be wildly inaccurate (though ones marked "est" are usually quite good).  In addition, release changes, rainfall or snowmelt can cause dramatic changes to all flows.  Therefore, actual flows may differ significantly from the ones listed here.

Other Dreamflows Reports

Realtime

Northwest States

Four Corners

• Weather icons: sunny, partly cloudy/foggy, cloudy/foggy, rain, snow, windy, unknown.  Note: these icons should give you a general idea of what the weather is like at each location - or will be like tomorrow - but there is no substitute for clicking on the icon and getting the full NOAA weather report.

• Flow colors:  15  frozen,  15  low,  15  okay,  15  high,  15  unknown.  Note: these colors give a general, catch-all classification for the flow at each location, as an aid to selecting potential runs.  However, flow ranges are very subjective, particularly with respect to craft type, so be sure to consult a guidebook before selecting a run.  Note also that a "low" or "high" classification means just that - "low" or "high".  Whether or not it also means "unrunnable" depends on how low or high, your craft type, and your skill level - many rivers are routinely run at flows that are considered "low" or "high".

• All flows are in 'cfs' (cubic feet per second) unless otherwise stated.  Other units are 'ft' (gauge height in feet) and 'in' (gauge height in inches).

• Flows marked '*' are considered by some to be at or near optimum for at least one run served by this site.

• For clarity, the customary underlines have been removed from three types of link in this report.  However, any blue, brown or red text still forms a link, and clicking on it yields additional information.  The River Name link (brown, first column) points to the corresponding Dreamflows Cross-Listing entry for this site.  The Place Name link (blue, second column) points to the corresponding flow graph for this site (if one is available).  The Notes link (red, last column) points to the corresponding notes entry for this site (if one is applicable).

Helpful Dreamflows Links

• Sites are suppressed from the report when flows fall substantially below runnable levels, or when no flow data is available for that site. 48 sites have been suppressed from this report. Click here to review the suppressed sites.

• The Dreamflows Notes page and the Dreamflows Bulletin Board report useful river information such as hazards, releases, access issues, etc. A given posting may be on one but not the other, so be sure to visit both.

• The FAQ page answers some common questions.

• Dreamflows Alerts is a free service with additional features. It will alert you when rivers of your choice are running.
