The new water year starts on October 1st. Generally soil water and ground water levels are low at the end of the summer season, and it is convenient to start the new water year when storage in the basin is low and similar from year to year. During October the autumn rains arrive, and as temperatures drop, the levels of ET decrease and streamflow levels rise. Look at the hydrograph above and see how the low flows between the rainy peaks are increasing through October.
