Castaic rising
According to the DWR website, Castaic has come up 5' in two days:
http://cdec.water.ca.gov/cgi-progs/quer ... as&d=today
Whoopee!
It started Wednesday.
Do you think they're sending water down the Aqueduct again?

That is weird! My friend lives in Santa Paula, and he said they had a huge amount of rain.elfish16 wrote:and Casitas with all the inches received last night and today has not a drop going in. even with 4" last week and another 4-6" tonight still soaking up.
I wonder if it's being held upstream, now that they cleaned out the catch basin behind the upstream dam. I can't believe the ground could soak up all that rain in that short amount of time.
But, then again, what do I know? Hahaha

Re: Castaic rising
Hold it where? There isn't another dam/ lake up stream from Casitas, it's all run off from the surrounding watershed!

Re: Castaic rising
Matiljia creek drains into Casitas, I don't believe Matilija dam is allowed to hold back water anymore due to the steelhead issues and it's a small lake. Coyote and Matilija creeks are the 2 main watershed sources for Casitas.
Maybe they are running water through the Casitas dam fish ladder for the phantom steelhead run!

Re: Castaic rising
Casitas has failed to rise due to the estimate that it will take over 10 inches of rain( like 10 inches in one big event) to saturate the ground enough to allow significant runoff.( although I think the trust funders in Santa Barbara are stealing our water at night and trucking it to Gibralter Lake ). However, if it keeps raining 2 inches at a time, after about 20 more storms, we'll get some water flowin' too!

Re: Castaic rising
So how do they keep the water from flowing downstream into Casitas?Dave Wilson wrote:Casitas has failed to rise due to the estimate that it will take over 10 inches of rain( like 10 inches in one big event) to saturate the ground enough to allow significant runoff.( although I think the trust funders in Santa Barbara are stealing our water at night and trucking it to Gibralter Lake ).

Is there a pipe and pump system connecting Casitas and Gibralter, or some kind of water transfer system?
Update: Castaic has come up 9.8' in four days, including 3.8' from Friday to Saturday.

Re: Castaic rising
Tom,
I read up on the link, and it says the Robles/Casitas system is just for Ventura. It doesn't say anything about sending water to Gibralter.
If they are trucking water to Gibralter, it must just be for agriculture, because none of it makes it to Cachuma, at least not right now.
Are they selling the water to Gibralter?

Re: Castaic rising
Gilbrailter is upstream from Cachuma on the Santa Ynez river, no connection to Ventura river system, or Feather river water, Dave was pulling your chain....

Small trout like that will fatten up the smaller bass in a hurry.

Re: Castaic rising
Sorry Mark, but I knew Tom would know about Santa Barbara water flows into Cachuma and upstream lakes.
