| 1.
Rainfall and runoff estimates are based on
measurements at San Clemente Dam.
Annual rainfall and runoff at San Clemente Dam average 21.5 inches and
69,500 acre-feet, respectively. Annual
values are based on the water year which runs from October 1 to September 30
of the following calendar year. The
rainfall and runoff averages at the San Clemente Dam site are based on
records for the 1922-2006 and 1902-2006 periods, respectively. |
|
|
| 2.
The rainfall and runoff totals are based on
measurements through April 2007. |
|
|
| 3.
Storage estimates refer to usable storage in the
Monterey Peninsula Water Resources System (MPWRS) that includes surface water
in Los Padres and San Clemente Reservoirs and ground water in the Carmel
Valley Alluvial Aquifer and in the coastal subareas of the Seaside Ground
Water Basin. The storage averages are
end-of-month values and are based on records for the 1987-2006 period. The
storage estimates are end-of-month values for April
2007. |
|
|
| 4.
The maximum storage capacity for the MPWRS at
this time, with the flashboards lowered at San Clemente Dam, is 37,515
acre-feet. The flashboards were last
lowered on August 27, 1996, and have not been raised since that time. |

| 5.
The adult steelhead count refers to the number of
sea-run and freshwater adults (> 15 inches) that have migrated up the fish
ladder at San Clemente Dam in Water Years 2006 and 2007. The juvenile count refers to the number of
juveniles that were rescued by District staff from drying reaches of the
Carmel River and its tributaries in Water Years 2006 and 2007. The adult count average is based on records
for the 1994-2006 period. The adult
counter was removed on April 3, 2007, due to low-flow conditions in the San
Clemente Dam fish ladder. |
