AT A GLANCE
Local storage is edging up. Kaweah added 202 AF and Success added 56 AF in the reported day. Combined Banks and Jones pumping fell 15% from the previous day. Early-season snow readings remain provisional.

Watershed snow
❄
Snow on the ground, with water content beside it.
Cards show the range of nonnegative daily snow-depth readings at selected stations on Oct 24. Open a watershed for individual snow depths and raw snow water equivalent (SWE). These are point observations, not a basin average, snowfall total or runoff forecast.
EARLY SEASON
Quality check: Negative readings are excluded from depth ranges and retained in station details. SWE readings that exceed reported daily depth are flagged for review; differing observation times may contribute. No unverified basin-wide SWE total or percent of normal is inferred. San Luis is off-stream and receives Delta water; it has no comparable mountain snow basin of its own.

OFFICIAL AGENCY DATA
How to read this report
AF is acre-feet. TAF is 1,000 acre-feet. CFS is a flow rate in cubic feet per second.
Selected CVP storage sums Shasta, Trinity, Whiskeytown, Folsom, New Melones, Millerton and the federal share of San Luis. It is not total CVP system storage or water available for allocation.
Capacity and seasonal average use the CDEC reservoir summary consistently. Capacities can differ among agency reports and do not describe current flood-control space or operating limits. The San Luis account split uses USBR accounting.
Daily pumping is measured volume from USBR. Equivalent average CFS is calculated as AF ÷ 1.983471. Seven-day totals cover the latest seven consecutive reported days; month-to-date uses the month of the latest pumping observation.
Snow depth measures snow thickness. SWE measures the water held in the snow. Current raw sensors can have offsets; station flags are this report’s screening, not agency quality ratings.
