Yuba Flows

[rjt]

not sure I understand the flows on the yuba per the link from cdec. Flows at Smartville have been consistent at 530 cfs past 24 hours, yet flows at the other monitoring stations fluctuated greatly which seems to make sense. Flows near Marysville peaked at 3500cfs and Deer creek jumped up to 2750 and are still at 500 CFS. Got to believe its completely blown out. Has anyone seen it in the last 24 hours?

Yep, just took a gander from my backyard fence and it is definitely up to about 1,000-1,500??--...and it is
muddy also!

Thanks for the update, guessing it will have to wait a few days.

Smartsville gagu is above deer creek, you need to add deer creek to get the proper level around the highway 20 bridge area. There are a number of feeder streams that come into the river before it gets to the marysville gage (e.g., sycamore), so it can get a little higher in marysville, but tends to equal out due to the fact that they divert water right around daguere (thats why in the summer time flows will always be higher above daguere)
