Summary
The 2025 Salinas River Discharge Measurement Series documented an entirely losing stream system with a total discharge loss of 606 cfs, or 1,201 acre-feet per day, across the ninety-one sampled river miles. This represents an increase in total discharge loss for a second consecutive year since 2023. Most sections of the river analyzed showed discharge loss rates closely below their historical average, except for Reservoir-Bradley and King City-Soledad, which showed discharge loss rates significantly greater than their historical averages.
