Nice-looking page. I used Template:Convert to add or improve metric conversions in the article. It's really handy for river articles, which often require dozens of conversions. The template does the math, uses the correct spelling and the correct abbreviations, and prevents the digits and units from being separated on computer screens by line-wrap. The template requires a bit of study, but it's well worth it. You can look at my examples in edit mode to see how I did cubic feet per second and some others. The |adj parameter is the one that adds the hyphen. The template will round automatically, but if you want to force the rounding, you can add |2 or |1 or whatever as a rounding parameter. I didn't add all of the needed conversions, and you should add them.
I changed the image sizes to "thumb" per the MoS guidelines for images. The bigger image in the geobox is OK up to 300 px.
The other thing that leaps out at me are the references. Instead of bare urls, the references should include author, title, publisher, date of publication, and access date. The "cite" family of templates is handy for providing a list of parameters to fill (or to delete if they don't apply or the information is not available). Learning how to use these templates takes a bit of practice, but they save a lot of trouble in the long run. See WP:CITE for a general explanation and WP:CIT to see the templates, which you can copy and paste into your sandbox or article. Hope this helps. Finetooth ( talk) 19:56, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the comment. I'm now working on References section. themaee ( talk) 17:44, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
I remembered I had used cubic meters rather than cubic meters per second in the discharge templates, and I fixed them just now. I get a little carried away sometimes in my editorial enthusiasm. It would have been more politic to consult with you before barging ahead on the first go-round. I have no more plans to change the article, but I'd be glad to help or advise if asked. Finetooth ( talk) 18:19, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
A major error with the conversions has resulted in hundreds of errors across the article. Please help! themaee 05:30, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere that Aliso Creek was proposed to be (or is) a Superfund site way back in 2004 (it was proposed back then, I saw it last year.) If someone could get the details on this and find a reliable source, it would benefit the article greatly... Shannon1 talk contribs 18:32, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

This won't display without adding a few extra unwanted blank spaces to the section. How do we include this without causing trouble? Shannon1 talk contribs 22:55, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
I'm copying a few of the "Water quality" suggestions I made at FAC to this page. I'll add others below those later today.

I don't want to annoy you with too many suggestions. Please post a note here if you want me to continue. Finetooth ( talk) 17:15, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
(outdent) I just noticed your edits to the page; what is " " for? because "50 percent" (without) and "50 percent" (with) look the same... I've seen it used on a lot of other articles, could you explain? Shannon talk contribs sign!:) 21:31, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
The infobox lists "Alder Creek" as an alternate name in actual use, and its formatting seems to imply that the Durham book is a source. But looking at Durham p. 4 on Google book search, it clearly does not support that. I've never heard of this as "Alder Creek" except as an English translation. I suggest either tracking down a source, or removing “Alder Creek” that from the top of the infobox. – jacobolus (t) 21:56, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: No move for "Aliso Creek", "Salt Creek" or "List of neighborhoods..."; Silverado Canyon (Orange County) will be moved to Silverado Canyon. Cúchullain t/ c 21:58, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
– Orange County, California is not the primary meaning for Orange County and the vast majority of article are using the full name anyway. [1] Marcus Qwertyus ( talk) 17:25, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
