  • Transitions for the Delta Economy
    Transitions for the Delta Economy January 2012 Josué Medellín-Azuara, Ellen Hanak, Richard Howitt, and Jay Lund with research support from Molly Ferrell, Katherine Kramer, Michelle Lent, Davin Reed, and Elizabeth Stryjewski Supported with funding from the Watershed Sciences Center, University of California, Davis Summary The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta consists of some 737,000 acres of low-lying lands and channels at the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers (Figure S1). This region lies at the very heart of California’s water policy debates, transporting vast flows of water from northern and eastern California to farming and population centers in the western and southern parts of the state. This critical water supply system is threatened by the likelihood that a large earthquake or other natural disaster could inflict catastrophic damage on its fragile levees, sending salt water toward the pumps at its southern edge. In another area of concern, water exports are currently under restriction while regulators and the courts seek to improve conditions for imperiled native fish. Leading policy proposals to address these issues include improvements in land and water management to benefit native species, and the development of a “dual conveyance” system for water exports, in which a new seismically resistant canal or tunnel would convey a portion of water supplies under or around the Delta instead of through the Delta’s channels. This focus on the Delta has caused considerable concern within the Delta itself, where residents and local governments have worried that changes in water supply and environmental management could harm the region’s economy and residents.

  • Winter Chinook Salmon in the Central Valley of California: Life History and Management
    Winter Chinook salmon in the Central Valley of California: Life history and management Wim Kimmerer Randall Brown DRAFT August 2006 Page ABSTRACT Winter Chinook is an endangered run of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the Central Valley of California. Despite considerablc efforts to monitor, understand, and manage winter Chinook, there has been relatively little effort at synthesizing the available information specific to this race. In this paper we examine the life history and status of winter Chinook, based on existing information and available data, and examine the influence of various management actions in helping to reverse decades of decline. Winter Chinook migrate upstream in late winter, mostly at age 3, to spawn in the upper Sacramento River in May - June. Embryos develop through summer, which can expose them to high temperatures. After emerging from the spawning gravel in -September, the young fish rear throughout the Sacramento River before leaving the San Francisco Estuary as smolts in January­ March. Blocked from access to their historical spawning grounds in high elevations of the Sacramento River and tributaries, wintcr Chinook now spawn below Kcswick Dam in cool tail waters of Shasta Dam. Their principal environmental challcnge is temperature: survival of embryos was poor in years when outflow from Shasta was warm or when the fish spawned below Red Bluff Diversion Dam (RBDD), where river temperature is higher than just below Keswick. Installation of a temperature control device on Shasta Dam has reduccd summer temperature in the discharge, and changes in operations of RBDD now allow most winter Chinook access to the upper river for spawning.

Summary “Once a landscape has been established, its origins are repressed from memory. It takes on the appearance of an ‘object’ which has been there, outside us, from the start.” Karatani Kojin (1993), Origins of Japanese Literature The Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta is the hub of California’s water supply system and the home of numerous native fish species, five of which already are listed as threatened or endangered. The recent rapid decline of populations of many of these fish species has been followed by court rulings restricting water exports from the Delta, focusing public and political attention on one of California’s most important and iconic water controversies.
