SFSJR Below Confluence with Hooper Creek (IFR) #23

Closed alanccai closed 4 years ago

alanccai commented 4 years ago

In OpenAgua, there is a IFR node is located directly downstream of Florence Lake, however, according to "Initial Information Package for the Big Creek Hydroelectric System (2000)" this IFR is actually located on the SFSJR below its confluence with Hooper Creek, and is gauged by USGS 11230215. I could not find Hooper Creek in the OpenAgua network. USGS Gauge 11230215 is not there either.

Please see the USJ schematic for a visual depiction: https://ca.water.usgs.gov/data/waterdata/Schematics2010/s.joaquin.up.r.basin.pdf

Okay, I think all is good now. We don't have Hooper Cr. explicitly, but SJN_37 includes Hooper Cr. I've updated the schematic accordingly. Note that there's also a newer gauge (11230070) a bit closer to Florence Lake as well, which I've added.

@alanccai Can you just confirm that, based on your research, there is definitely no IFR right below Florence Lake?

Just this:

(A maximum IF, as opposed to a MIF)

Interesting, so that is a maximum flow, not a minimum flow. I've created #38 to address this, and am closing this issue.
