Researchers found that only 8 percent of the state's rivers and streams were monitored by devices used to measure water flow.
California's water supply could be in trouble, as a new study has found that the state's rivers and streams are severely under monitored, posing serious risks to effective water management.
'Measuring streamflow near dams is critical for handling water supply and controlling floods, but our research determined that only 9 percent of California's large dams are covered by a gauge upstream and/or downstream,' Grantham said in the statement.The research also indicated that 30 percent of watersheds supporting the highest diversity of freshwater species are monitored.
