THE DELTA AND THE TRIBUTARIES, part 1: How the health of the headwaters affects California’s water system
In October of last year, the Mountain Counties Water Resources Association hosted the forum, The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and its Sierra Nevada Tributaries: The Stressors and the Fix, which brought together scientists, agency officials, and resource managers to discuss the issues impacting the headwaters and the tributaries, and how these connect to the health of the Delta. The speakers included Jim Branham, Executive Officer of the Sierra Nevada Conservancy; Dr. Jay Lund, UC Davis Center for Watershed Sciences; Doug Demko, President of FishBio; Dr. Bruce Herbold, Retired EPA and fisheries consultant; Jose Setka, Manager of Fisheries & Wildlife Division for the East Bay Municipal Utilities District; and Michael George, Delta Watermaster. The forum concluded with a lively panel discussion moderated by Dr. Jeff Mount, senior fellow with the Public Policy Institute of California.
The forum was sponsored by Placer County Water Agency, Mead & Hunt, Sage Engineers, and Stantec.
This forum will be covered in three parts.
