Analysis of Sonoma Creek Stream Gaging Data, 1955-1981

This report describes the methods and results of an analysis of stream gaging data collected by the USGSThe United States Geological Survey, http://www.usgs.gov/ on Sonoma Creek from 1955 to 1981. The objectives of the analysis are:

• to describe certain hydrologic characteristics of Sonoma Creek, including high flow and low flow frequencies and relationship of precipitation to streamflow
• to provide this description of hydrologic characteristics as a portion of a baseline inventory of the creek against which data collected since 1981 can be compared
• to communicate the results of this description to the community.

Below attached are the text part of the report and a zipped file with data and graphs.
