The Water Quality Control Policy for the Enclosed Bays and Estuaries of California is published by the California State Water Resources Control Board as guidelines to prevent water quality degradation. The policy is revised as needed. [1] Although only a portion of Humboldt Bay is visible in this aerial image, the small opening to the Pacific ...
Under the Federal Clean Water Act and the state's pioneering Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act the State Water Board has regulatory authority for protecting the water quality of nearly 1,600,000 acres (6,500 km 2) of lakes, 1,300,000 acres (5,300 km 2) of bays and estuaries, 211,000 miles (340,000 km) of rivers and streams, and about ...

Tidal range is the difference in height between high tide and low tide. Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and Sun, by Earth's rotation and by centrifugal force caused by Earth's progression around the Earth-Moon barycenter. Tidal range depends on time and location.
Now Gov. Gavin Newsom is threatening mandatory water restrictions if Californians don't start using less water on their own. On Tuesday, the State Water Resources Control Board voted to adopt ...
A tidal prism is the volume of water in an estuary or inlet between mean high tide and mean low tide, [1] or the volume of water leaving an estuary at ebb tide. [2]The inter-tidal prism volume can be expressed by the relationship: P=H A, where H is the average tidal range and A is the average surface area of the basin. [3]
The State Water Board, which has not yet had an opportunity to formally respond, will provide information to the EPA “to demonstrate that the board has complied with all civil rights laws ...
