  • 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.

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.

  • 2. the Legacies of Delta History
    2. TheLegaciesofDeltaHistory “You could not step twice into the same river; for other waters are ever flowing on to you.” Heraclitus (540 BC–480 BC) The modern history of the Delta reveals profound geologic and social changes that began with European settlement in the mid-19th century. After 1800, the Delta evolved from a fishing, hunting, and foraging site for Native Americans (primarily Miwok and Wintun tribes), to a transportation network for explorers and settlers, to a major agrarian resource for California, and finally to the hub of the water supply system for San Joaquin Valley agriculture and Southern California cities. Central to these transformations was the conversion of vast areas of tidal wetlands into islands of farmland surrounded by levees. Much like the history of the Florida Everglades (Grunwald, 2006), each transformation was made without the benefit of knowing future needs and uses; collectively these changes have brought the Delta to its current state. Pre-European Delta: Fluctuating Salinity and Lands As originally found by European explorers, nearly 60 percent of the Delta was submerged by daily tides, and spring tides could submerge it entirely.1 Large areas were also subject to seasonal river flooding. Although most of the Delta was a tidal wetland, the water within the interior remained primarily fresh. However, early explorers reported evidence of saltwater intrusion during the summer months in some years (Jackson and Paterson, 1977). Dominant vegetation included tules—marsh plants that live in fresh and brackish water. On higher ground, including the numerous natural levees formed by silt deposits, plant life consisted of coarse grasses; willows; blackberry and wild rose thickets; and galleries of oak, sycamore, alder, walnut, and cottonwood.

  • Sacramento San Joaquin Delta Atlas
    State of California The Resources Agency DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES SACRAMENTO-SAN JOAQUIN DELTA ATLAS August 1987 FOREWORD The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta was originally a tidal marsh formed at the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and Suisun Bay. More than 80 percent of this former marsh was leveed and developed for agriculture from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s. Today the Delta islands and levees are of statewide importance for agriculture, water quality, flood control, recreation, fish and wildlife, water supply, commercial shipping, transportation, and other benefits. This Atlas is the result of information gathered during Department of Water Resources studies on Delta programs and, in particular, the recent studies for Delta levee improvements. The Atlas provides background information that should be helpful for people trying to understand and address complex problems of this estuary. The information is presented in a series of figures, photographs, and tables for easy reference. David N.

    Northern California, Oregon, and the Sandwich Islands by Charles Nordhoff Northern California, Oregon, and the Sandwich Islands by Charles Nordhoff Produced by Ronald Holder and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team. [Transcriber's Notes: The following words are noted as having changed between the publication of this book and the year 2004: 'Nuuanu Valley', versus 'Nuanu'; 'lei', vs. 'le' for a flower garland; 'holoku' vs. 'holaku' for a Hawaiian black dress; 'Wailua', vs. 'Waialua'; 'Kealakekua Bay' vs. 'Kealakeakua'; 'Kahului' vs. 'Kaului'; 'kuleana' vs. 'kuliana' for a small land-holding; 'kulolo' vs. 'kuulaau' for a taro pudding; 'piele' vs. 'paalolo' for a sweet-potato and coconut pudding; 'Koa' trees vs. 'Ko'; 'Sausalito' vs. 'Soucelito'; 'Klickitat', vs. 'Klikatat'; and 'Mount Rainier' vs. 'Mount Regnier'. Also, in chapter 1, the author mis-stated information on taro fields; it should say that a square forty feet on each side will support a person for a year; this is equivalent to a square mile feeding 15,000. An explanation of footnotes in the Appendix: The book has both footnotes at the bottom of each page, to which I assigned letters, and four pages page 1 / 393 of notes at the end of the Appendix. The latter includes comments by the translator in brackets, therefore these notes, which use numbers, will not be enclosed in the normal [Footnote: ] brackets to avoid any confusion.

  • Jones Tract Flood Water Quality Investigations Iii
    Division of Environmental Services California Department of Water Resources July 2009 Arnold Schwarzenegger Mike Chrisman Lester A. Snow Governor Secretary for Resources Director State of California Natural Resources Agency Department of Water Resources Jones Tract Flood Water Quality Investigations iii Executive Summary Purpose The report documents all the water quality data collected by the Department of Water Resources (DWR) at Upper Jones Tract and Lower Jones Tract and the Middle River after the levee breached at Upper Jones Tract. Sampling was conducted while Middle River was filling the Upper Jones Tract and Lower Jones Tract and continued through the levee repair and the dewatering. Analyses were done with the monitoring data required by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Water Board) and the independent data collected by DWR staff. Because the delta provides drinking water to many Californians, a comprehensive monitoring program was implemented to collect and analyze the water quality constituents. The methods used by the field staff as well as the Bryte Laboratory have been summarized in the report, and the analyses done by laboratories under contract to DWR also are described. The results and the discussion of the data analysis are in Chapter 3. Within the overall DWR goal of recovering Jones Tract from the levee breech and flood, the Municipal Water Quality Investigations Branch of the Division of Environmental Services of DWR undertook the water quality monitoring with 3 project purposes: 1 Evaluate the water quality of pump discharge as required by the Regional Water Quality Control Board to meet water quality objectives; 2 Evaluate water quality at the pump-out site to determine possible water quality effects to delta waters used for municipal purposes; and 3 Gather and analyze data that might help assess potential water quality effects of future island water storage projects.
