Details

Estimates of percent pools were provided by Mark Gard for some watersheds. The mean percent pools, excluding Feather River, is 23.1%. This value is used for watersheds without an estimate. The total area of pools is then caluculated by multiplying the estimated percent pools by the total channel area. Channel areas were estimated using Google Earth Engine.

Watersheds With Estimated Percent Pools:

• Antelope Creek

• Battle Creek

• Butte Creek

• Clear Creek

• Cottonwood Creek

• Deer Creek

• Feather River (*80

• Mill Creek

• Mokelumne River

• Stanislaus River

• Tuolumne River

• Upper Sacramento River

• Yuba River

Note: The area of pools that covers both the Upper Sacramento and Upper-mid Sacramento DSM segments is assigned to the Upper Sacramento River.
