Some good results from using the obvious resources.

Interesting, and a bountiful use of ignored past resource.
Interesting read. If I understand what I've read in the current version of the BDCP, using the by-pass waters is part of the planned strategy for recovery. This study probably will confirm that the strategy will work. Of course, whether the strategy will get a chance to work will be dependent on whether the public votes to approve the proposed bond issue funding Delta restoration projects and without funding, this project is probably DOA.
D, it seems to me that this particular project could have been implemented years ago, regardless of the BDCP. This all happens way upstream of the proposed pumps. Are we that far gone? Ed
Yep!!! The project will confirm what UCD scientists have been discussing/proposing for many years now. Seems to me that levee set-backs were proposed by UCD to expand the river bed, allowing it to return to natural flow patterns as far back as in the 80's. Of course, the Army Corps of Engineers plus many others objected and....
Now, comes along the BDCP. The plan includes a Delta restoration component but the title of this component is misleading. If you look at the map and read the description of the geographical/regulatory responsibility of the Delta Stewardship Council which includes the Office of the Delta Watermaster, the material includes all of the waters flowing into the Delta up to/including water from the Trinity River to the north and all of the waters to the east and south up to the point where pre-existing dams are in place.
So,.... Anything proposed for any waters involved in BDCP has to be approved by the council. Doesn't mean this project won't be approved but there're lots of new regulatory hurdles to jump before implementation. Hopefully, it will be included in the list of smaller projects proposed for completion prior to actual start of the main Tunnel project but unless it's already available, funding may still be an issue.
Ground Trout hamburgers??? Good one, Frank!!! ;) ;) ;)
Sounds like a better option than hatcheries.... the fish will probably learn how to avoid predators and have a better survival rate than swimming around in fish tanks eating goldfish food.
