Ferocious blizzard with “life-threatening conditions” hits Sierra Nevada as Tahoe residents hunker down for up to 12 feet of snow
“Communities around Lake Tahoe hunkered down Thursday as the biggest blizzard of the winter began to roar across California’s Sierra Nevada — a storm that forecasters said could bring up to 12 feet of snow by Sunday in some areas, with power outages, closed highways and winds over 100 mph on ridge tops. “There’s a high likelihood that people will be stranded if they try to drive up here from the Bay Area,” said Craig Shoemaker, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Sacramento, on Thursday afternoon. “It’s too late to even try. It’s a very dangerous, life-threatening situation that will be developing.” … ” Read more from the San Jose Mercury News (gift article).
March snow survey shows improvement for Sierra snowpack
“The Department of Water Resources (DWR) today conducted the third snow survey of the season at Phillips Station. The manual survey recorded 47.5 inches of snow depth and a snow water equivalent of 18 inches, which is 77 percent of average for this location. The snow water equivalent measures the amount of water contained in the snowpack and is a key component of DWR’s water supply forecast. Today’s results reflect continued improvement in the snowpack since the slow and dry start to the water year. DWR’s electronic readings from 130 stations placed throughout the state indicate that the statewide snowpack’s snow water equivalent is 18.7 inches, or 80 percent of average for this date, an improvement from just 28 percent of average on January 1. The statewide snowpack is currently only 70 percent of the critical April 1 average, when the snowpack is typically at its peak. An incoming storm is expected to bring several feet of snow to the Sierra Nevada this weekend. … ” Read more from the Department of Water Resources.
Funding could be biggest hurdle faced by the Delta tunnel as water users weigh costs versus benefits of the $16 billion project
“The controversial Delta Conveyance Project may have bigger problems than legal action over its recently approved environmental impact report. Who’s going to pay the estimated $16 billion price tag? The concept, a tunnel to take Sacramento River water beneath the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to thirsty towns and farms further south, relies on the end users footing the bill. But over the decades that the project has languished in various iterations, those end users have become less enthusiastic to open their wallets. … ” Read more from SJV Water.
NOTICE of petition requesting changes in water rights of the Department of Water Resources for the Delta Conveyance Project
“Please be advised that on February 22, 2024, the State Water Resources Control Board (Board) received a Petition for Change from the Department of Water Resources (DWR) to add two new points of diversion (POD) and rediversion (PORD) to the water right permits associated with the State Water Project. Specifically, the petition seeks to change Water Right Permits 16478, 16479, 16481, and 16482 (Applications 5630, 14443, 14445A, and 17512, respectively). The proposed new PODs/PORDs would consist of screened intakes 2.3 miles apart located on the lower Sacramento River between Freeport and Sutter Slough. The proposed new intakes are part of the Delta Conveyance Project, which would allow DWR to divert water from the northern Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Estuary (Delta) and convey the water through a tunnel to existing water distribution facilities in the southern Delta. … ” Continue reading this notice from the State Water Resources Control Board.
Harder leads coalition urging Army Corps of Engineers to deny permit for Delta tunnel water grab
“Representative Josh Harder (CA-9) led a group of his Delta region colleagues urging the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to deny a permit for the now-infamous Delta Tunnel. The State recently released an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) confirming that the project will threaten endangered fish populations, destroy farmland, and harm water quality. Harder is calling attention to the deeply concerning long-term impacts that the Delta Tunnel project would have on the Delta itself, the local agriculture industry, and the environment. “The Delta Tunnel water grab would be a disaster for our region. We’ve been saying it for years and Sacramento’s own report shows the damage it would do, but they won’t listen and they’re steamrolling ahead,” said Rep. Harder. “Delta communities are united in opposition to this boondoggle project because water is the lifeblood of our way of life. The Army Corps needs to do what’s right, look at the real dangers this project will cause, and deny a permit.” … ” Read more from Congressman Harder’s website.
Long planned Sites Valley reservoir moves toward construction
“As California enjoys a second robust winter in a row, calls for additional water storage may soon be getting an answer. A new reservoir is something voters approved funding for years ago, and while progress has been slow, there are hopes that it may finally be moving ahead. “Nothing has been built like this in California for more than 30 years,’ said Jerry Brown, Executive Director of the Sites Reservoir Authority. It’s been nearly 70 years since California took a look at the Sites Valley, and saw the potential for a reservoir that could have been as large as Shasta. he plan now is for something not quite that large, but still massive. … ” Read more from CBS San Francisco.
CA WATER COMMISSION: Update on the Water Storage Investment Program Projects
“Proposition 1 of 2014 dedicated $2.7 billion for investments in water storage projects, which the California Water Commission administers through the Water Storage Investment Program (WSIP). Seven water storage projects were selected and must complete the remaining requirements, including final permits, environmental documents, contracts for the administration of public benefits, and commitments for the remaining project costs. At the February meeting of the California Water Commission, Program Manager Amy Young updated the Commissioners on the status of the seven water storage projects. New information has been culled from the last quarterly reports, and some project timelines have changed significantly. … ” Continue reading from Maven’s Notebook.
California’s plan to install solar panels over canals
“Originally proposed by researchers at the University of California, the idea has been slow to gain traction but now looks like it could become a reality in the near future. According to the team’s initial study, the potential gains from this project could be significant, with around 63billion gallons of water saved by covering the State’s almost 6,500km of water canals. In doing so, it could also generate 13gigawatts of electricity, which is enough to power the entire City of Los Angeles from January to early October, based on annual average power demand. However, this is only now set to be tested in practice with Project Nexus, in California’s Central Valley. … ” Read more from Environment Journal.
Where did the water go? ‘Environmental lawsuits have had a very chilling effect’ on CA water resiliency efforts
“With a boost from the wettest January on record, California’s megadrought is over. But with torrents running out to sea, relief may be as short-lived as the next dry spell. Intensifying the problem is that California has not built a reservoir in approximately 50 years, and many water supply plans—if they survive strict governmental review—get tied up in court by environmental lawsuits. As this litigation takes its toll, California finds itself with limited ammo for its war against recurrent droughts, which has hurt agriculture and forced rationing at times in the South. The most recent example involves a lawsuit filed last December targeting the Sites Reservoir, northwest of Sacramento, which several groups say will upset the ecosystem, according to a report published by Courthouse News Service. Edward Ring, author of The Abundance Choice: Our Fight for More Water in California, has studied the issue intensively as senior fellow with California Policy Center and director of the CPC’s Californians for Energy and Water Abundance. In a recent interview with Northern California Record, Ring agreed these lawsuits are crippling and need to be curtailed. … ” Read more from the Northern California Record.
California’s urban runoff flows down the drain. Can the drought-plagued state capture more of it?
“California fails to capture massive amounts of stormwater rushing off city streets and surfaces that could help supply millions of people a year, according to a new analysis released today. The nationwide report, by researchers with the Pacific Institute, ranks California ninth nationwide among states with the most estimated urban runoff. Rainwater flows off streets and yards into storm drains that eventually empty into waterways and the ocean — carrying pollutants picked up along the way. The analysis reports California sheds almost 2.3 million acre-feet of precipitation from pavement, roofs, sidewalks and other surfaces in cities and towns every year. If it were captured and treated, that would be enough to supply more than a quarter of California’s urban water use, or almost 7 million Southern California households each year. … ” Read more from Cal Matters.
New Pacific Institute report finds substantial opportunity for urban stormwater capture to enhance water resilience in communities across the US
“The Pacific Institute, a US-based global water think tank, in partnership with 2NDNATURE today released a new national assessment finding substantial opportunities for expanded stormwater capture and use approaches to improve water resilience in urban areas across the United States. The pivotal study quantifies the volumetric potential of stormwater runoff in urban areas, finding 59.5 million acre-feet per year (AFY) of urban stormwater runoff is generated, exceeding earlier estimates. This is equivalent to an annual average of more than 53 billion gallons per day. … ” Continue reading from the Pacific Institute.
REPORT: Fresno State report details how Shallow Subsurface Artificial Groundwater Recharge can recharge clean water to aquifers
“To address declining groundwater levels throughout the State, the legislature in 2014 enacted the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, which required groundwater users in medium and high-priority basins to form Groundwater Sustainability Agencies and develop plans to bring their basins into balance within 20 years. Several tools are available to accomplish SGMA’s goal. These include reducing groundwater use through fallowing agricultural land and agricultural and urban water conservation, and adding water to the aquifer through groundwater recharge. Groundwater recharge methodologies include recharge basins, flood-managed aquifer recharge (FloodMAR), and shallow subsurface artificial groundwater recharge (SSAGR). A new report from Fresno State’s California Water Institute focuses on SSAGR and how it compares to traditional recharge basins. … ” Continue reading from Maven’s Notebook.
Salmon Information Meeting to outline any possibility of a 2024 salmon season
“Recreational and commercial fishermen are holding their breath for this Friday’s California Department of Wildlife’s annual Salmon Information Meeting to be held by webinar only. Although the escapement of fall-run salmon in the Sacramento River Basin exceeded the minimum of 122,000 returning hatchery and natural spawners, 133,638 returners fell short of the projected spawning escapement of 164,964 salmon. The 2023 salmon closure below Cape Falcon in Oregon throughout California was devastating to commercial salmon fishermen along with coastal communities due to the loss of economic activity by recreational anglers. According to the Golden State Salmon Association, Central Valley salmon have provided over $2 billion in economic activity to communities in California and Oregon along with 23,000 jobs in California and half that again in Oregon. The salmon closure also had the unintended consequence of increased pressure on other gamefish species resulting in the daily bag limit for California halibut reduced to two-fish per day and perhaps increased pressure on rockfish leading to an early closure on nearshore fishing. … ” Read more from Western Outdoor News.
‘Like a World War II battlefield’: How one of Northern California’s most polluted properties may finally be cleaned up
“The legacies of California’s 1849 Gold Rush and the relentless search for gold that continued decades later are well known: the rise of San Francisco; statehood; Wells Fargo; Levi’s jeans; a Bay Area football team named after the fortune-seeking miners. But along the shores of Clear Lake, just north of Napa Valley’s famed wineries, is another gold-rush legacy: toxic pollution. From the 1860s until it closed in 1957, the Sulphur Bank Mine was one of the largest mercury mines in the United States. Gold miners in the Sierra Nevada used the mercury dug from its deep tunnels and craggy cavities to separate gold from the ore that held it. Today, what’s left is a rocky, open pit as large as 20 football fields, filled with murky blue-green acidic water 90 feet deep and surrounded by a barbed wire fence adorned with “Danger EPA Superfund Site” signs. Massive piles of mining waste around the rest of the 160-acre landscape enough to fill 250,000 dump trucks are contaminated with arsenic, mercury and other toxics. … ” Read more from the San Jose Mercury News.
A tale of two sea level rise solutions: Coastal communities in California brace for the future in radically different ways
” … Like all communities coming to terms with sea level rise, cities along California’s coast face one crucial choice: fight or flee. Climate models project Californians will see one foot of sea level rise in the next 25 years and three feet by the end of this century. How the state chooses to manage this is especially weighty because of its scale: California coastline accounts for a little less than half of the contiguous West Coast’s total mileage. With more people in California living below one meter (3.3 feet) of elevation than any other state except Louisiana, Californians are particularly vulnerable. Given the extent of the projected impacts, coastal communities nationwide are looking to California as a model for how to adapt to rising seas. Without a coordinated state-wide plan for sea level rise, however, cities and towns have arrived at vastly different approaches to their shared problem. This lack of coordination along the coast could present additional challenges down the line, sparing certain areas at first but ultimately worsening the impacts of sea level rise for more economically and environmentally vulnerable communities. … ” Read more from the Sierra Club.

It’s taken California too long to get serious about protecting the Bay-Delta ecosystem
Felicia Marcus and Michael Kiparsky write, “California’s Bay-Delta is in trouble, and its outdated water regulations need to catch up with the challenge. For a generation, the State Water Resources Control Board has not updated legally required and much needed rules for sharing water between the environment and other water uses throughout the Bay-Delta watershed. These new rules should result in additional flows for this water-starved system to protect fish and wildlife and improve water quality. Instead of finishing more than a decade of work and establishing long-overdue protections for the Bay-Delta ecosystem, the state is banking on voluntary agreements among water users to guide its actions. Some voluntary agreement proponents suggest there must be a choice between such agreements to provide flows and habitat and updated environmental protections. … ” Read more from the Sacramento Bee. | Read via Yahoo News.
CA Department of Water Resources files petition to change Delta water rights to build Delta Tunnel
Dan Bacher writes, “Like a brain-eating zombie that never dies, the Delta Tunnel project keeps rising from the dead, despite massive opposition from the people of California. In the latest episode in the revival of this undead project by the Newsom Administration, the Californian Department of Water Resources (DWR) on Feb. 22 submitted a Change in Point of Diversion Petition for the Delta Conveyance Project to the State Water Resources Control Board. In her letter to the Water Board accompanying the petition, DWR Director Karla Nemeth stated, “Specifically, the petition seeks to add two points of diversion and rediversion to the water rights for the State Water Project (SWP) necessary for the construction and operation of new SWP water diversion and conveyance facilities. The Project is a critical element of a broader State effort to protect the reliability of statewide water supplies from earthquakes and weather-driven climate extremes.” … ” Read more from the Daily Kos.
DAN WALTERS: California needs reliable water supply, but climate change brings more uncertainty
“There’s no issue more important to California than having a reliable supply of water, but the situation is increasingly uncertain from both immediate and long-term perspectives. Last week, federal and state water regulators told the state’s municipal water agencies and San Joaquin Valley farmers that they could count on getting just 15% of their contracted allocations this year because precipitation this winter in Northern California has fallen short of normal, despite storms that caused serious flooding in Southern California. “Many expected the initial allocation to be higher,” Federico Barajas, executive director of the San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority, which represents dozens of agencies that receive Central Valley Project water, told the San Francisco Chronicle. “This low initial allocation is particularly challenging for agricultural producers, who are reliant on these projections for planning crops to grow during the year and for acquiring the financing necessary to support food production.” … ” Read more from Dan Walters at Cal Matters.
In California, momentum around removing dams that do more harm than good is growing
Curtis Knight, executive director of Cal Trout, writes, “Earth is sending us a message: It’s time to heal watersheds that 20th Century engineers fundamentally disrupted when they thought they could outsmart nature and control wild rivers. The removal of four Klamath River dams along the California-Oregon border is in the spotlight — and for good reason. It is the largest dam removal in our nation’s history and represents the culmination of decades of advocacy, politicking and negotiations led by tribes and supported by a broad swath of non-profit organizations and commercial fishermen. Yet more is happeing. At the other end of the state, a series of smaller dam removals is moving forward with less fanfare. … ” Read more from the Sacramento Bee. | Read via AOL News.
Commentary: Is California’s Klamath River Dam removal a ghoulish experiment?
Katy Grimes, Editor in Chief of the California Globe, writes, “In 2018, plans were released to destroy the Klamath River dam system by American Rivers, an environmental non-profit which claims “up to 85% of the dams in this country are unnecessary, harmful and even dangerous.” The removal of dams along the Klamath River in Siskiyou County, Northern California was sold as necessary to save salmon – specifically, “to restore habitat for endangered fish.” The dams are part of the Klamath project, a series of seven dams built 1910 to 1920 in the Klamath Basin to bring electricity and agricultural water mitigation for Southern Oregon and Northern California, the Globe reported in 2020. Emotions run high on both sides of the dam destruction issue. The Globe wants to know why the Klamath Dams are being removed, and who is behind it? … ” Read more from the California Globe.
GSSA: water diversions obliterate upper Sacramento fall chinook salmon population by 96%
“Scott Artis, the Golden State Salmon Association’s executive director, responded to the latest California salmon return numbers reported in the Pacific Fishery Management Council report released on February 16, 2024: “Under Governor Newsom, the upper Sacramento River, formerly the most important salmon producing river south of the Columbia, has been killed off. It’s pretty simple. When you kill all of the baby salmon through environmentally disastrous water policies, 3 years later there won’t be fish to catch or spawning adult fish. This is a blatant attack on fish, rivers, the Bay-Delta ecosystem, and tens of thousands of salmon families from California to Oregon. … ” Continue reading from the Golden State Salmon Association.
Catch-and-release and mark-selective fisheries
Tom Cannon writes, “Current proposals by various governmental officials and agencies are not adequate to protect public trust fisheries. The Central Valley fall-run salmon escapement fell below 100,000 in 2022, levels not seen since the 2008 and 2009 drought (Figure 1). Spawning numbers in the upper mainstem Sacramento River near Redding were below 5000 in 2022, record low levels also not seen since 2016 and 2017. Fall-run salmon escapement numbers for the entire Sacramento River showed a similar pattern. Salmon fisheries were closed in 2009 and 2023 to ensure against over-fishing. The upper mainstem fall-run salmon population was historically the backbone of Central Valley salmon escapement and fisheries. That population and its natural-born component has crashed and is need of immediate attention. Otherwise, hatcheries will be shut down, no fisheries will be allowed to protect wild fish, and salmon will go the way of the condor. Aggressive action is needed to save the salmon and salmon fisheries. … ” Read more from California Fisheries.
A San Francisco carve out could wreck California’s landmark coastal protections
“If the coast of California is a state asset worth trillions of dollars — and it is — why is the state agency that has successfully protected that asset for 50 years under assault? The answer — “unnecessary permitting delays” — is unfounded. Yet California’s exceptional history of coastal protection is in greater jeopardy today in the halls of our state Capitol than it has been for generations. Like water flowing downhill, California’s incomparable coast has always been a magnet for development. In 1972, with this in mind, the voters of California overwhelmingly approved Proposition 20, a ballot initiative that set in motion the 1976 California Coastal Act. … ” Continue reading at the LA Times.

Mud-starved wetlands get a meal, at last
“As I arrived at the Port of Oakland, a high-tech nautical mud abduction was underway. On a cherry-red dredger, a 55-cubic-yard clamshell bucket hung from a crane by a webbing of cable, like a 45-ton chandelier. With open jaws, the bucket descended into the water, sank to the harbor floor, closed over a thick scoop of sludge, and lifted it into a massive transport barge. It was just tipping sunrise; sleepy pelicans dotted the riggings and mooring lines of the harbor. The dredger, named the Njord after the Norse god of the sea, runs 24 hours a day to meet its production goals; this crew had been scooping and dumping since midnight. By the time the sun popped over the top of the Oakland hills, the barge was almost fully loaded with 2,700 cubic yards—about 5,000 tons—of soupy sediment. The dredger moved on to the next section of harbor, scooping up bucketfuls of mud, tracing long, clean lines like a methodical lawnmower. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dredges an average of 2 million cubic yards of sediment from around San Francisco Bay every year to maintain the federal navigation channels that allow gargantuan freighters to traverse it. Manson Construction Co. Capt. Joe Barney, who has been dredging for 38 years, puts it this way: “We just keep the channels clean so the ships can get in so you can go shopping.” … ” Read more from Bay Nature.
Don Edwards NWR relishes progress in San Francisco Bay recovery
“Twenty years after a complex, multi-partner effort began to restore south San Francisco Bay and boost its resilience to climate change , some benefits to wildlife and people are growing easier see. Tidal flow has returned to more than 3,000 marsh acres — some of them visible from new trails and overlooks. Migratory waterbirds such as northern shovelers and canvasbacks are thriving in native pickleweed and cordgrasss. Public recreation access is improving. That’s welcome news at Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge, a peerless natural resource in this region of 8 million people and the largest landholder along the bay’s edge. The refuge is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service — a key player in South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project, returning salt ponds to marshlands. Two of three project sites are in the refuge; the other is a state ecological reserve. Together they account for the West Coast’s largest tidal wetland restoration. That’s a source of considerable pride for Matt Brown, manager of the San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge Complex. The complex covers seven refuges including San Francisco Bay Refuge…. ” Continue reading from the US Fish & Wildlife Service.
Cal Am fires its first defensive legal volley against the water district in public buyout case
“An effort toward a public takeover of the private water utility California American Water has taken years to get to this point. Activists asked voters to approve a ballot measure to that end in 2005, and it failed. They tried again in 2014, and lost again. They prevailed in 2018 with the passage of Measure J, which compelled the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District to acquire Cal Am’s local system “if and when feasible.” More than five years later, the matter has moved to the courts. In October 2023, the board of the water district determined that yes, it was feasible—and that it would pursue acquisition of Cal Am’s system. Because the utility company had rejected the public district’s previous offer of $449 million to buy it, the district would proceed by filing an eminent domain case. … ” Read more from Monterey Weekly.
How did winter rains affect Paso Robles groundwater basin? There’s ‘really good news’
“Heavy winter rains did some good for the dire groundwater conditions in the Paso Robles area, new data show. According to the San Luis Obispo County Groundwater Sustainability Department, 79% of the wells measured in April on the Paso Robles groundwater basin had higher levels than the same time the year before. Some wells had water levels rise more than 50 feet — a difference that could mean those households may be able drink their own water again. “It’s really good news,” agency director Blaine Reely said. “I’m excited to see even more improvement as the water continues to percolate down.” … ” Read more from AOL.

The ‘phantom’ lake that engulfed California’s Central Valley is gone. But the toll lingers
“The long-dormant lake that roared to life in California’s San Joaquin Valley last winter, eventually swelling to nearly the size of Lake Tahoe, has all but disappeared. Almost a year after historic storms fueled its rebirth, Tulare Lake endures today only as several small stretches of standing water. The vast expanses of farms, roads and buildings unexpectedly engulfed by the lake ever since March, between Bakersfield and Fresno, have mostly resurfaced, albeit wet and very muddy. As of early this month, water pooled sporadically over a total of a few square miles, in contrast to the uninterrupted 180-square mile lake that fanned out last spring, according to data from the Kings County Office of Emergency Services. … ” Read more from the San Francisco Chronicle (gift article).
Will DWP increase Mono Basin diversions this year?
“Water diversions to Los Angeles—and away from Mono Lake—began just after noon on January 31. With the turn of a control wheel, the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power (DWP) opened the aqueduct, sending Mono Basin water into the Mono Craters tunnel and on a 300-mile journey down the aqueduct system. Mono Lake, of course, would be better off with that water flowing down Rush Creek instead, entering the lake and helping maintain the significant—but far from complete—lake rise of last year. This spring DWP faces an even bigger choice. On April 1, the maximum limit on water exports will increase nearly fourfold. Will DWP choose to maintain the same export level as recent years? Or will it choose to quadruple its water diversions—and push Mono Lake’s level downward? … ” Read more from the Mono Lake Committee.

Facing a dwindling water supply and a federal deadline, Western states have yet to agree on Colorado River management plan
” … The rules that currently guide the river’s operations are set to expire in 2026. The Bureau of Reclamation, an agency housed within the U.S. Department of the Interior that oversees water projects across the country, is in the process of developing post-2026 operations for the Colorado River and its reservoirs. The states are negotiating their preferred plan for those operations for Reclamation to consider. Their plan has to consider extreme drought and climate change in the American West, which make for a shrinking river. Reclamation asked the states to submit their plan in March so the agency would have time to analyze it. In January, the states’ water negotiators expected to make that deadline. But now, Amy Haas, executive director of the Colorado River Authority of Utah, told The Salt Lake Tribune that she thinks it is unlikely that the seven states will have a unified plan by then — which means the feds won’t yet be able to consider their proposal. … ” Read more from the Salt Lake Tribune.
