A chart datum is the water level surface serving as origin of depths displayed on a nautical chart and for reporting and predicting tide heights. A chart datum is generally derived from some tidal phase, in which case it is also known as a tidal datum. [1] Common chart datums are lowest astronomical tide (LAT) [1] and mean lower low water (MLLW).
It crosses Llano Road near the regional water treatment plant, then crosses Todd Road and joins Blucher Creek. East of Sebastopol, it crosses under State Route 12 at milepost 9.63 and turns to the north. Just south of Guerneville Road, the Santa Rosa Flood Control Channel enters the Laguna, bring water from Santa Rosa Creek and its
The first routine measurements of river flow in England began on the Thames and Lea in the 1880s, [2] and in Scotland on the River Garry in 1913. [3] The national gauging station network was established in its current form by the early 1970s and consists of approximately 1500 flow measurement stations supplemented by a variable number of temporary monitoring sites.

In hydrology, stage is the water level in a river or stream with respect to a chosen reference height. [1] [2] It is commonly measured in units of feet.Stage is important because direct measurements of river discharge are very difficult while water surface elevation measurements are comparatively easy.
The zero level can be arbitrary, but it is usually close to the bottom of the stream or river or at the average level of standing bodies of water. Stage was traditionally measured visually using a staff gauge, which is a fixed ruler marked in 1/100 and 1/10 foot intervals, [ 3 ] however electronic sensors that transmit real-time information to ...
A USGS gauging station on the Scioto River below O'Shaughnessy Dam near Dublin, Ohio The USGS operates the streamgaging network for the United States, with over 7400 streamgages . Real-time streamflow data [ 17 ] are available online.
This article lists rivers by their average discharge measured in descending order of their water flow rate. Here, only those rivers whose discharge is more than 2,000 m 3 /s (71,000 cu ft/s) are shown.
Guerneville (/ ˈ ɡ ɜːr n v ɪ l,-n i v ɪ l /) is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County, California, United States. The town is historically known as a logging community.
