Flood Hydrology of Butte Basin, 1973 and 1974 Water Years, Sacramento Valley, California.
Abstract
Stage and discharge data are being collected along Ord Ferry Road, Afton Boulevard, State Highway 162, and Gridley Road to describe the flooding of Butte Basin caused primarily by overflow from the Sacramento River. Only minor flooding occurred in Butte Basin during the 1973 water year. Two floods caused significant overflow to Butte Basin during the 1974 water year. Peak overflow along Ord Ferry Road was about 70,000 cu ft/sec on January 17 and was about 38,000 cu ft/sec on March 31. Peak flows measured along Afton Boulevard, State Highway 162, and Gridley Road ranged from about 39,000 to 44,000 cu ft/sec on January 18 and from about 21,000 to 24,000 cu ft/sec on April 1.
