This book was released on 2010-02-02 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ecosystem in freefall, a shrinking water supply for cities and agriculture, an antiquated network of failure-prone levees—this is the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the major hub of California's water system. Written by a team of independent water experts, this analysis of the latest data evaluates proposed solutions to the Delta's myriad problems. Through in-depth economic and ecological analysis, the authors find that the current policy of channeling water exports through the Delta is not sustainable for any interest. Employing a peripheral canal-conveying water around the Delta instead of through it—as part of a larger habitat and water management plan appears to be the best strategy to maintain both a high-quality water supply and at the same time improve conditions for native fish and wildlife. This important assessment includes integrated analysis of long term ecosystem and water management options and demonstrates how issues such as climate change and sustainability will shape the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2012, the California Department of Water Resources released its Central Valley Flood Protection Plan to improve the overall flood management system for the Sacramento and Joaquin River. While the plan included several opportunities to reduce flood risk within the Sacramento River Valley, the solution was more limited in the San Joaquin River. This study investigated the possible increase of flow capacity in a bypass of the San Joaquin River system located 12 miles South from Stockton, CA, named Paradise Cut. The San Joaquin River is connected to Paradise Cut with a weir which spills during large floods and diverts water from its main river stem. In a first step, a hydraulic model of the Lower San Joaquin River was built, then calibrated and finally evaluated by simulating the 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, 200- and 500-year flood events. Once the model was calibrated, several feature modifications at Paradise Cut weir and its surroundings were created and evaluated hydraulically (stage, flow, out-of-system volume) and economically (construction cost, expected annual damage, benefits-cost ratio). It was found that lowering and lengthening the weir, and dredging the upper portion of Paradise Cut creates great hydraulic improvement in the upper and mid-section of the study area, but very little flood enhancement once entering the California Delta. From a solely economic stand point, the inundation reduction benefits in comparison to construction cost do not make any of the modifications feasible.

This book was released on 2007-02-01 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California's Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta is widely perceived to be in crisis today: its levee system is fragile, many of its native species are declining rapidly, and it lacks strong governing institutions to deal with its problems. In its current state, the Delta is unsustainable for almost all stakeholders. This report provides a comprehensive, scientifically up-to-date analysis and outlines several alternative management strategies for the Delta.
