North and Middle Yuba River Basins.pdf; Schematic of rivers, reservoirs, diversions, powerhouses and gauges.

Jackson Meadows Reservoir collects the headwaters run off and evens out the flow down the river to Milton Reservoir. The Milton Bowman tunnel takes the water to Bowman Lake on Canyon Creek and eventually into the SF Yuba hydroelectric system. Flows in the river below Milton are seldom higher than 5 cfs. Only if Jackson Spills flows higher than the tunnel can accept, will some water flow into the natural river bed.

Historical gauge data is available for:
Milton Bowman Tunnel - USGS 11408000 Diversions can be as high as 490 cfs.
MF Yuba below Milton Dam - USGS 11408550
Jackson Meadows Storage 66,700 acre/feet of storage.
