The National Weather Service just released rainfall totals for the last 48 hours in Northern California. Very few areas got over an inch of the much needed rain. (See below for the numbers.)
Rivers experienced slightly increased water flows. For instance, the Van Duzen which was flowing at 32 cubic feet per second on the 21st near Bridgeville is now at 38 cubic feet per second. The levels are still those normally found in July. For comparison, last year on this date the flow was at 82 cubic feet per second and it wasn’t until July 23rd that the flow dropped to the level it is today.
See last Friday’s story on the drought for more information about river flows.
