California’s San Joaquin River Wet Again
By Tom Chandler on Oct 5, 2006 in Environment, News
The San Joaquin River - which has run dry since the Friant Dam was constructed - should now run wet all the way to the delta, opening the door for its once-sizable runs of salmon to return.
You can read about this new agreement here.
It’s going to be exciting to watch the return of this river (if not to greatness, at least to wetness), and it’s clearly a huge step in the right direction. Still, it’s not hard to notice that original lawsuit that drove this settlement was filed in… 1988. Speedy, indeed.
