Support from the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District has allowed us to install a stream gauge on Finch Creek. Thank you Greg James! This is below the confluence of Finch, Big Creek (= Madrone Creek) and Robertson creeks. About 22 sq miles are gauged here (see map of Finch Creek watershed). Thanks, Doug Smith, Watershed Lab, CSUMB! Each hour a number is generated by the pressure transducer and shown in the graphs, and in the data table. Eventually, with some additional measurements, Greg James of MPWMD will be able to use this number to generate a flow in cubic feet per second. However, that takes some time, many flow measurements, etc. So for now, this gives a relative idea of the flow. Small daily changes of values about 0.646 indicate the stream is dry.
