Prototype page by the Dept. Water Resources using a map interface to obtain river information. At present, its usefulness is limited since it only has info on a few rivers.

CA DWR CDEC Interface
Simplified interface to Dept. Water Resources data for some other rivers in California.

USGS Surface Water Stations in California
