Fisher, H: Land and Water Use in Mad River-Redwood Creek, Hy

Excerpt from Land and Water Use in Mad River-Redwood Creek, Hydrographic Unit: April 1965

For purposes of this inventory, the State has been divided into major hydrographic areas. These areas, in turn, have been subdivided into hydrographic units generally comprising watersheds of individual rivers. Basic data, consisting of land and water use, classification of lands, and streamflow measurements, are collected for each hydrographic unit. To date, this activity has been concentrated mainly in northern watersheds. Results of this inventory will be presented in two series of reports covering (1) land and water use, and (2) water resources and water requirements.

The data on land and water use, together with land classification, are being published as the Bulletin 9h series; one for each hydrographic unit. This report covering the Eel River Hydrographic Unit is the eighth in the series. As the data relative to particular hydrographic units are published they become available for general studies and project investiga tions, not only by the department, but by all other parties concerned with the watersheds covered. When completed, this series of bulletins will provide detailed data for the whole State.

A second series of reports, each covering one or more hydro graphic units, will include determinations of the available water resources and future requirements of those areas. The water resources will be determined from.the records of older stream gaging stations, and a number of new stations, mainly on smaller streams not previously measured. The determination of water requirements will be based on.land use patterns projected for specific points of time. These projections, in turn, will be based on the land and water use and land classification data, such as contained herein, and other available information.
