Summary

Abstract: Both real-time and historical hydrologic data are available for
California river basins from the California Department of Water Resources,
California Data Exchange Center. Data includes current and historical
river conditions at river gauging stations, operational reservoir
data, and precipitation data throughout California.

Measurements include river stage height, river discharge, reservoir
stage height, reservoir storage, reservoir inflow, reservoir outflow,
and precipitation. Most data are collected hourly or at 15 minute
intervals. The online interface depicts the real-time data in both
graphs and tables. Daily and monthly summaries for individual gauging
stations or groups of stations are available.
