Streamflow stations are in the northern and southern central valley and the foothills and mountains of the Sierra Nevada and northern Coastal Ranges.

Stream stage measurements are made using a range of automated sensors and station set-ups. General maintenance, repairs, and upkeep is required for both streamflow and weather stations.

The weather stations range in complexity with regards to meteorological observations. Weather stations in mountainous locations and foothills record air temperature, precipitation, and/or snow depth and snow water equivalent.
