Restoration Strategies Report Released Amid River Plan Debate
The San Joaquin River restoration debate unfolds as Friant submits the Restoration Strategies Report to the California Department of Water Resources and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation after a grant-funding termination notice. Findings warn that creating a naturally reproducing salmon fishery would demand vast water and cost hundreds of millions, with total channel improvements estimated over 650 million. The document questions the sufficiency of cold water year-round and notes the annual firm water supply is 800 000 acre-feet. Stakeholders urge science-based plans balancing social and economic impacts.
