Description
A Bureau of Reclamation gauging station is on river left. Water in this section is usually pumped from the delta, via the Delta-Mendota Canal. During the winter and spring flows can come from Friant, from Pine Flat via the Kings, pumped out of Tulare Lake or perhaps from west side creeks.
The gauge is housed in a vertical corrugated pipe with a solar panel on top. The cable crossing just downstream is used to measure the actual streamflow and calibrate the river level gauge.
