Kern River at Kernville
164.0 cfs
NOAA Kernville gauge. A different reach can have different flow.
Official gaugeSierra river flows & water levels
Check USGS and NOAA flow, gauge height, and water temperature where measured. Each reading identifies its exact station and observation time.
River gauges
Flow and gauge height apply to the exact monitoring station, not every reach of a river. Missing sensors are shown as not measured. USGS measurements are provisional.
East Walker River near Bridgeport
95.1 cfs
Gauge downstream of Bridgeport Reservoir; not a reading for the West Walker River.
Official gaugeTruckee River at Farad
401 cfs
Farad gauge downstream of Truckee; flow can differ from the reach near Lake Tahoe.
Official gaugeRead a gauge in context
Discharge is reported in cubic feet per second (cfs); gauge height is the water level at that station, not a universal depth or a direct safety rating. Values describe the sensor location and can change with releases, weather, and local tributaries. Compare the observation time as well as the value, and follow the linked agency page for provisional-data notes.
Owens River sections
The Bishop gauge does not represent every Owens River reach. For additional sections and reservoir releases, use LADWP aqueduct conditions reports.
