The Santa Ynez River is one of the largest rivers on the Central Coast of California. It is 92 miles (148 km) long, [ 3 ] flowing from east to west through the Santa Ynez Valley , reaching the Pacific Ocean at Surf, near Vandenberg Space Force Base and the city of Lompoc .
The critical velocity for deposition, on the other hand, depends on the settling velocity, and that decreases with decreasing grainsize. The Hjulström curve shows that sand particles of a size around 0.1 mm require the lowest stream velocity to erode. The curve was expanded by Åke Sundborg in 1956.
The Bear River is a tributary of the Feather River in the Sierra Nevada, winding through four California counties: Yuba, Sutter, Placer, and Nevada.About 73 miles (117 km) long, the river flows generally southwest through the Sierra then west through the Central Valley, draining a narrow, rugged watershed of 295 square miles (760 km 2).
This is an average measure. For measuring the discharge of a river we need a different method and the most common is the 'area-velocity' method. The area is the cross sectional area across a river and the average velocity across that section needs to be measured for a unit time, commonly a minute.
Horses, based on the amount of alfalfa they eat, use about 1.9 million acre-feet (2.3 km 3) of water – about 7% of irrigated water in the state. There are 698,000 horses in California. [42] California is one of the top five states in water use for livestock.

Subcategories should be used for rivers which can be classified in them: Category: Rivers of Southern California — San Luis Obispo/Kern/San Bernardino and southward; see Southern California Counties.
Two horses were struck and killed by passing vehicles late Tuesday after they ran onto a Los Angeles freeway, authorities said. Other drivers saved a third horse and helped the animal over to the ...
