MCF is a gaging station operated by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) where streamflow and chemistry are monitored periodically. Using this approach, we carefully monitor the stream conditions on this part of Mammoth Creek.Check out the LADWP website to see discharge data for selected LADWP measuring points in Long Valley caldera.
