Gauge Description:

This gauge is at Farad which is just downstream of the section described here. It provides a good indicator of what's happening on the lower Boca to Floriston section (flows regulated by reservoir input at Boca). For an indicator of what's happening on the upper River Ranch to Boca section (above this reservoir input) check the Truckee near Truckee gauge. At flows above 1200 cfs on the Farad gauge things get more fun or challenging depending on your perspective.
