Continuous Monitoring Stations

Autostation State Water Project

Water quality monitoring station at Banks Pumping Plant.

DWR's Division of Operations and Maintenance (O&M) currently maintains 16 continuous water quality monitoring stations located throughout the State Water Project. Data from these automated stations are uploaded to the California Data Exchange Center (CDEC) website. The parameters monitored at these stations are:

  • Electrical conductivity
  • Water temperature
  • Turbidity
  • pH
  • Fluorometry

Current and historic hourly and daily data for individual stations can be viewed by selecting the corresponding station link in the Stations and Sensors table below.
