THE FUTURE WATER SUPPLY OF SAN ON PESCADERO Station for the Measurement of This Stream was Established in 1886 and Accurate Record Kept ? ?- ; = i Until the Fire of 1906. COAST STREAMS ARE GOOD PRODUCERS. Throughout this period, Mr. Hermann Sch uss-ier investigated the Coast Streams in detail, es-tablishing gaging stations on the streams as earlj^as 1865. From these records Mr. Seliussler esti-mated that by the use of storage in the Pesca-dero Reservoir the streams would support a draftof 50 M. G. D. Unfortunately some of theserecords were destroyed in the conflagration of1006; those now available are: (a) Rainfall at Camp Ploward on PeseaderoCreek for seventeen years from 1889 to 1906,and (b) run-off of the Peseadero at the sameplace for the two years 1887 to 1889 and for thesix full seasons, 1899-90 to 1904-5. Camp How-ard is located on Peseadero
