Cave Creek Current Stream Flow Conditions - The Flood Control District of Maricopa County Arizona

The Flood Control District of Maricopa County has 150 water-level gages on streams, washes, channels and dams throughout the Maricopa County region, measuring water depth and transmitting that data in real time. Using a rating relationship between depth and discharge, flow can be estimated from depth readings on streams.

Flash Floods are destructive, life-threatening events. Cave Creek residents can do their own part to protect themselves, their family and their property during a flood event. The District encourages all residents to:

* follow safety guidelines during storms and floods, especially when near flooded washes and riverbeds,
* adhere to regulations when building or maintaining property in a floodplain, and
* purchase flood insurance for their property.

Flash Flood on Cave Creek

From YouTube member creekercouncil: After the 2005 Cave Creek Complex fire, about a dozen flash floods have come down Cave Creek. One carried more water than the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. (See"Rafting Lava Falls in the Grand Canyon" on YouTube.) This flood carried about 1/4 that much flow.

Flash floods are very dangerous for humans and vehicles.
