RIVER INVENTORY VIDEOS


  The Water Resources Center Archives has a collection of U-matic format video cassettes of footage shot during helicopter overflights of selected rivers in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Oregon. The inventory was conducted by the National Park Service, Western Region, as part of the Nationwide Rivers Inventory (NRI).

  Included in the information below is the name of the river, the number of U-matic video cassettes, and the date of the helicopter flight. Each cassette is approximately 20 minutes in duration. Most of the tapes for California have been converted to standard VHS format. As funding permits, the rest of the tapes will also be converted. There are facilities on the U.C. Berkeley campus for viewing both U-matic and VHS videocassettes.

  The River Inventory Videos have been individually cataloged in Melvyl and are housed at the Water Archives. Ask for assistance at the circulation desk.
