i12 Delta Hydrology

This point dataset represents the location of gaging stations in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and Suisun Marsh that have historic and statistical hydrologic data, specifically various river stage data. Stages are given in NAVD88, units feet. Specific stages are given for peak stages, 100-year stages produced under 2 separate US Army Corps of Engineers hydrology reports from 1976 and 1992, the year of previous peak stages cited by the 1976 and 1992 reports, and approximate typical tidal values as approximately estimated based on long term data records. This 2023 version of this datset replaces the prior 2020 version, and should be used as a complete replacement. The underlying analyses did not change, but the USACE peak observed stage field names from the prior version were corrected and supplemental USACE 50- and 100-year stages were added accordingly. In addition, the vertical datum conversion used at specific gages was added. The vertical datum conversion is based on DWR survey and North Central Regional Office information that is maintained for each gage station. The stage data was compiled by Karen Tolentino, engineer with Delta Levees, and by Joel Dudas, Senior Engineer in DWR's Division of Engineering, based on a wide variety of sources, including the HYDSTRA database, various historic bulletins, raw data, station histories, and other information provided by DWR's North Central Region Office, USGS, and other misc sources. They also adjusted all data to approximate NAVD88-related stages. Observed data periods of record varied widely by station, but go back as far as 1905. All peak values were derived from start of records until up to May, 2017.The associated data are considered DWR enterprise GIS data, which meet all appropriate requirements of the DWR Spatial Data Standards, specifically the DWR Spatial Data Standard version 3.5, dated April 12, 2023. DWR makes no warranties or guarantees —either expressed or implied — as to the completeness, accuracy, or correctness of the data. DWR neither accepts nor assumes liability arising from or for any incorrect, incomplete, or misleading subject data. Comments, problems, improvements, updates, or suggestions should be forwarded to GIS@water.ca.gov.
