Meta Identifier	QUESTAhydro
Type of Data	Hydrologic
Originator	Questa Engineering Corporation
Description	Average monthly rainfall data were determined using rainfall records from Sonoma County Water Agency gaging stations (Erikson, Gerritson, and Two Rock). In addition, a water balance analysis using monthly time steps was conducted to estimate stream flow for dry, average, and wet rainfall years for Americano Creek at Valley Ford and Stemple Creek at Highway One.
Area	Americano and Stemple Creek watersheds
Metadata Date	10/1/02
Metadata Contact	Summer Morlock
Status	complete
Receipt Log	Have hard and electronic copy of report.
Data Set Name	flow_amerstem_monthlysum_1991_1992.xls.db, flowclimate_amerstemtolay_wtrbd_mnth_questa.db
Purpose	The City of Santa Rosa and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers commissioned a series of studies to examine areas for potential places where wastewater could be disbursed, including waterbodies outside the Russian River basin. Data were collected in Americano and Stemple Creeks to analyze existing hydrology and assess the potential changes in hydrology associated with imported/reclaimed irrigation water.
Data Quality Information	Results of the water balance model were checked against spot streamflow measurements from several stream locations in mid-June 1995, as well as a regression model produced for a local watershed.
Use Constraints	Peak discharges associated with large storm events are not addressed by the water balance. Note that estimates do not take into account diversion of water for agricultural use and therefore may be higher then actual values
Counties	Marin and Sonoma
