  • Watershed Collaborations: Entanglements with Common Streams
    Watershed Collaborations: Entanglements with Common Streams By Cleo Assan Woelfle-Erskine A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Energy and Resources in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Isha Ray, co-chair Professor Stephanie M. Carlson, co-chair Professor Jeffrey M. Romm Professor Kimberly TallBear Professor Laurel G. Larsen Spring 2015 ! ! ! ! Abstract: Watershed Collaborations: Entanglements with common streams Along California's North Coast, where salmon hover on the cusp of extinction, scientists and local residents seek new collaborations. Agencies, tribes, and watershed councils commission competing studies to determine links between human water use, oceanic cycles, and salmon decline. Modelers turn to ranchers' expert opinions to condition hydrologic models. Ranchers import beavers to build dams that may raise the water table. These watershed collaborations begin to transcend boundaries of human institutions, scientist / lay person, and even species. Restoring salmon-bearing streams is a project to reconfigure human relationships to water and inhabitation practices. In the western U.S., this project necessarily entails a serious grappling with Manifest Destiny legacies of Native American sovereignty, property regimes, legal doctrines, and water infrastructures. My dissertation investigates how watershed collaborations transform scientific practices, environmental subjectivities, and trans-species relations, using Salmon Creek (Sonoma Co., CA) as a case. Salmon Creek is typical of thousands of small watersheds in the Pacific West in that summer water extractions by farmers and rural residents dry many tributaries into a series of disconnected pools. This anthropogenic drought compounds historic beaver removal, logging, and road building that have altered water, sediment, and large wood supply to the stream, limiting steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and coho salmon (O.
