Synopsis

Comprehensive look at California's water resources A detailed, data-driven reference that explains how rainfall translates into streamflow and how rivers, lakes, and reservoirs support irrigation and urban needs across California.

This publication compiles observations from U.S. Geological Survey records and engineering investigations into one accessible volume. It presents basin-by-basin discharge measurements, rainfall relationships, and practical data that engineers and planners can use to understand water supply, storage, and usage in the state. The work emphasizes how hydrology shapes California’s development, with charts, diagrams, and tables that cover major basins and many tributaries.

- Basin-wide discharge and rainfall data, including key rivers and watersheds
- Diagrams and tables illustrating rainfall, runoff, and evaporation
- Annals of water storage, reservoirs, and irrigation infrastructure
- A cross-referenced index to help locate data on specific streams, basins, or localities

Ideal for readers involved in irrigation, civil engineering, hydrology, or water-resource planning, as well as students seeking a solid, reference-style overview of California’s hydrography.

California Hydrography is a practical reference that helps you interpret historic measurements and understand the scale of California’s water resources. It serves as a foundation for study and planning in the state’s water-management landscape.
