Components of Sacramento River inflow, 2023 (taf/day)

SOURCES: Author calculations using data from the Dayflow program provided by the California Department of Water Resources. For details, see the accompanying dataset: "PPIC Water Potentially Available for Recharge, 2017 and 2023." NOTES: Total required outflow for the Delta estimated from the State Water Resources Control Board D-1641. Flood flows are shown when the river is at 70,000 cfs, considered flood stage at Sacramento (when flows are diverted to the Yolo Bypass). Taf is thousands of acre-feet; maf is millions of acre-feet. The chart shows total daily inflows measured at Freeport and the Yolo Bypass. On the Sacramento River there are 133 days during which there could be restrictions in diverting water for recharge because the Delta was not in excess, amounting to 757 taf of water.
