Water resources and f uture water requirements. Hydraulic data. CaliforniaDept . of Water Resou rces. Vols. I to V, 1964-\ 966.

This massive wo rk, co mprising 2270 pages in seven volumes, includingappendices, pr ovides info rma tion on the water resou rces of the vario us majordivisionsofCalifornia with refe rence to such matters as clima te, precipitation,strea m flow data , availabil ity of gro und water, gro und-wa te r levels, andestimati on s of futu re land use a nd water requ irements a nd water sur plusesand deficiencies. The surpluses indica te the qu ant ities of wa ter ava ila ble forstorage or export, while deficiencies indica te th e amo unt of water th at co uldbe imported or the amount of sto rage required. In formation is given also onsurface and ground-wat er q ual ity in the various distri ct s.
