Chet Bowling, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Boise, United States,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Water Management in the '90s: A Time for Innovation

Abstract:

Drought in Northern California resulted in the potential that summer and early fall, 1992, Sacramento and Trinity River temperatures would exceed critical levels for sustaining salmon populations. As a result, extraordinary efforts, both operational and structural, were undertaken to manage cold water releases from the reservoir system.
