See the official CDEC gage site for further technical information about the gauge. 

The season tends to be from late winter into early summer. In wet years the flows can be too high for much of the season.

The online gauge shown above came online in September of 2007. In late winter and early spring, flow in the SF Merced is often greater than the flow in the Main Merced.   See dreamflows.com for those readings.

Gauging Rock: In Wawona, there is a distinctive rock that may be useful for judging flow level. View the Gauge Rock closeup image. This rock is on river left, by the Wawona store, just upstream of the highway 41 bridge. This downstream view from rock shows the location in relation to the highway bridge. The new online gauge appears to be located downstream of the highway bridge.
