  • PAP-732 Control of Release Water Temperatures in Reclamation's
    PAP-732 Control of Release Water Temperatures in Reclamation's Central Valley Project by Perry L. Johnson Presented in Japan by Darrell W. Webber November 1991 HYDRAULICS BRANCH OFFICIAL FILE COPY CONTROL OF RELEASE WATER TEMPERATURES IN RECLAMATION'S CENTRAL VALLEY PROJECT by Darrell W. Webber Assistant Commissioner-Engineering and Research United States Bureau of Reclamation INTRODUCTION California's Central Valley Basin includes two major watersheds, the Sacramento River on the north and the San Joaquin River on the south (figure 1). The combined watersheds extend nearly 800 kilometers (500 miles) in a northwest-southeast direction and range from about 100 to 160 kilometers (60 to 100 miles) in width. The valley floor occupies about one-third of the basin; the other two thirds are mountainous. The Sacramento River and its tributaries flow southward, draining the northern part of the basin. The San Joaquin River and its tributaries flow northward, draining the central southern portion. These two river systems join at the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, flow into San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The Central Valley Project, one of the United States major water developments, extends over much of the basin. Although developed primarily for irrigation, this multiple-purpose project also provides flood control, improves Sacramento River navigation, supplies domestic and industrial water, generates electric power, creates opportunities for recreation, controls salt water encroachment, and conserves fish and wildlife. The project annually delivers between 3.7 billion and 4.9 billion cubic meters (3 and 4 million acre-feet) of water for irrigation use on nearly 8 billion square meters (2 million acres) of land.

  • The Facts About Raising Shasta Dam
    The Facts about Raising Shasta Dam May 10, 2019 Shasta Dam is the fourth highest dam in California1 and its 4.55 million acre-foot reservoir is the largest in the state.2 The dam captures water from three rivers (the upper Sacramento, McCloud, and Pit).3 Constructed and operated by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the Shasta Dam and Reservoir is the cornerstone of the giant Central Valley Project (CVP), which provides irrigation and drinking water for much of California’s Central Valley and parts of, and valleys just south of, the San Francisco Bay Area.4 In the Shasta Lake Water Resources Investigation (SLWRI) final Feasibility Report and Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation, USBR, or the Bureau) identified a plan with the greatest level of National Economic Development (NED) benefits as one including an 18.5-foot raise of Shasta Dam,5 which would increase water storage capabilities behind the dam by about 13%.6 This alternative, identified as the preferred alternative,7 was intended to improve conditions in the Sacramento River for threatened and endangered salmon and steelhead and increase the state’s overall water supply reliability.8 The Bureau released a final Feasibility Report and environmental impact statement (FEIS) which did not recommend any action (dam) alternative because of serious outstanding considerations,9 including: (1) The Bureau’s desire to have upfront funding from non-federal cost-sharing partners,10 (2) concerns by CVP contractors about CVP facilities serving non-CVP contractors,11 (3) California law prohibiting the expansion of Shasta Reservoir,12 (4) applicability of state environmental law to the project,13 and (5) process considerations.
