A detailed, official record of stream flow measurements from the 1905 calendar year, focusing on California drainages and the Colorado River region.

This volume is part of the United States Geological Survey’s ongoing hydrographic work. It compiles standard methods, station histories, and measured data that show how water moved through major basins in the Great Basin, Pacific Ocean drainages in California, and the Colorado River below the Gila River. The text includes descriptions of measuring techniques, gaging stations, and discharge data that were collected in 1905.

Learn how field measurements were taken for stream flow and how run-off is computed.
See how discharge, gage heights, and velocities are recorded and interpreted.
Explore station descriptions and long-standing data for California and Colorado River basins.
Gain context on the organization, scope, and purpose of early 20th-century hydrologic surveys.

Ideal for readers interested in historical hydrology, government survey work, and the development of water-resources data in the western United States.
