It\u2019s been 10,000 (cubic feet per second) for, seems like months now \u2014 and that\u2019s very rare.\u201d That\u2019s more than the capacity of four standard 40-foot shipping containers rushing by each second.<\/p>\n<p>The map above shows sites across the state where streamflow over the past week has been running above normal, based on data collected for the same time and place, over decades. These values, averaged over seven days, represent recent trends better than measurements for a single day. Scientists can calculate the volume of water moving down a river per second \u2014 also known as discharge \u2014 through measurements relating river levels to flow rate. The size of each circle in the map reflects how much water is flowing, while the color indicates how streamflows compare to average values. Spots on some rivers and streams, labeled in purple, are seeing their highest flows ever for this time of year. One example is Pohono Bridge in Yosemite National Park, where the Merced River averaged 7,859 cubic feet \u2014 almost 60,000 gallons \u2014 of water per second. That\u2019s over three times the average amount for this location.<\/p>\n<p>A more drawn-out version of such high temperatures would be a catastrophic combination with the record-breaking snowpack, experts have said. That could produce far more water than reservoirs and levees could endure, especially in the San Joaquin Valley.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/california\/article\/river-flow-snowpack-water-18119571.php\">San Francisco Chronicle<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-371\/\">Map shows epic amounts of water gushing through California rivers<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2571,575,4256],"class_list":["post-114528","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-california","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-river"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114528","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114528"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114528\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
