California Northern Sierra Precipitation: 8-Station Index, February 16, 2010

The average of eight precipitation stations serves as a wetness index for the Sacramento River hydrologic region.

It provides a representative sample of the region's major watersheds: the upper Sacramento, Feather, Yuba, and American rivers, which produce inflow to some of California's largest reservoirs - the source of much of our water supply. The eight stations are: Blue Canyon, Brush Creek Ranger Station, Mineral, Mount Shasta City, Pacific House, Quincy Ranger Station, Shasta Dam, Sierraville Ranger Station.
