	San Joaquin River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Water from the river is used to irrigate 1,500 square miles (1,000,000 acres) of highly productive farmland on the east side of the Central Valley where 200 kinds of produce are raised from oranges to cotton.
		The river flows west to the trough of the Central Valley, where it is joined by the Sierra's other great rivers and then at Mendota Pool flows north to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and then San Francisco Bay.
		However, the diversion of water from the upper reaches of the San Joaquin River and its tributaries significantly reduced the number of Chinook Salmon native to the river.

		Water districts in Calaveras and San Joaquin counties plan to investigate the source of heightened levels of fecal bacteria in the Calaveras River in coming months.
		Kauffman explained that the bacteria is absorbed by the Calaveras River and, by the time it reaches lower areas such as New Hogan Reservoir, the numbers are much lower.
		According to the report, a lack of plant life on the river contributes to the high levels of bacteria in the water.

		Four conservation groups have asked the state to investigate alleged misuse of the Calaveras River by the Calaveras County and Stockton East water districts.
		"Calaveras County Water District and Stockton East are going to have to learn to share the water with the fish," said Bill Jennings, executive director of the California Sportfishing Protection Alliance, which spearheaded the complaint.
		Hundreds of salmon and steelhead return from the Pacific Ocean to the Calaveras River each year, but many cannot reach their spawning grounds because too little water flows down the river, Jennings said.

		The Calaveras is unique in having the only winter run of Chinook salmon on the West Coast besides the Sacramento River winter run, a listed species under the federal and state Endangered Species Act.
		The Calaveras main channel remained dry during the recent storms because the water was held back in New Hogan Reservoir.
		Castillo, Cannon and others are trying to develop flow standards on the river that would prevent the disaster that took place on the river this December and many other years from taking place again.

	Print #108 - White Water, Calaveras River, California, 1996
		The river canyon is pretty steep in this area, about 500-600 feet on both sides of the river.
		Using a polarizing filter to cut the reflection of the opposite bank in the water darkened the water significantly which accented the highlights of the white water.
		This is the same section of river which appears in print #102, but here you are looking upstream instead of downstream.

		D-1601 went on to announce that future appropriations in Calaveras County, after two remaining petitions for partial assignment were processed, would be accomplished by filing regular applications and by deducting the amounts of water in the new permits from Permit 15012, except in cases where an application would fulfill the purposes of Application 5648C.
		The Calaveras portion of the application, designated as Application 5648C to facilitate record keeping, is for a permit to appropriate water for irrigation and domestic uses year-round in amounts up to 800 cfs by direct diversion and up to 100,000 afa by storage.
		D-1601 states that assigning portions of Application 5648C for small projects in Calaveras County is unnecessarily cumbersome, does not fulfill the purposes of Application 5648C, and is not in accordance with the intent of the Legislature.

	How Did Our 58 Counties Get Their Names?
		The Spanish originally called one of the tributaries of the Sacramento River El Rio de las Plumas or the "River of Feathers." In creating this county, the state Legislature gave it the name Plumas because all of the numerous branches of the Feather River have their origins in its mountains.
		In his expedition in 1772, Crespi named a small river in honor of San Benidicto (Saint Benedict), the patron saint of the married, and it is from the contraction of this name that the county took its name.
		Vallejo stated that the river was named Uba by an exploring expedition in 1824 because of the quantities of wild grapes (uvas silvestres in Spanish) which they found growing on its banks.

	Water district's proposal for protecting fish faces scrutiny
		STOCKTON - A water district's long-awaited plan for protecting fish on the Calaveras River is receiving considerable scrutiny - even though few have actually seen it.
		Although Stockton East is keeping its plan under wraps, it includes sending enough water down the river to support fish while making improvements along the river to help fish move upstream, such as a new fish ladder, district manager Kevin Kauffman said.
		An average of 160,000 acre-feet flows down the river each year, which is enough for fish, he said.

	(RIVERS REBORN) El Dorado Dam — American River
		In addition, the California Public Utilities Commission recently decided that $15 million in PG&E ratepayer funds, originally set aside to cover the “transition costs” of utility deregulation, will be used to help cover the cost of repairing the flood-damaged project.
		Friends of the River and other conservation organizations are concerned that current minimum flows in the south fork of the American are insuffi-cient to maintain a healthy ecosystem, and that the new owner of the project will be allowed to divert even more water from the river.
		Friends of the River has proposed that the El Dorado diversion dam be removed, allowing EID’s consumptive water supplies to flow down the south fork into Folsom Reservoir (thereby supporting the river’s outstanding white-water recreation values), where the county can divert the water and pump it uphill to feed its growing subdivisions.
