	Cosumnes River College - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cosumnes River College is a two-year community college located at the southern edge of Sacramento in Sacramento County, California.
		The college is a namesake of the Cosumnes River which flows just a few miles to the south.
		The concept for Cosumnes River College was included in a Master Facility Need Study that was approved by the Board of Trustees of the Los Rios Community College District in February of 1967.

	History of the Cosumnes River
		The river bottom forest supported diverse animal populations, bears, elk, and deer lived alongside of coyotes, mountain lions and bobcats.An abundance of waterfowl and small mammals proved irresistible to the first humans to come into the valley.
		Living on the scattered hardpan knolls along the river for protection from winter floods, it is hard to imagine the appearance of their villages.
		The American River was where this crop first became popular in California, but it soon became apparent that the soil of the Cosumnes was also ideal for the pungent buds.

		The Cosumnes River watershed is on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada; The Nature Conservancy has focused its activities and investments within the lower floodplain of the Cosumnes River, in Sacramento and San Joaquin counties.
		The river's natural communities—seasonal and permanent wetlands, riparian forests, vernal pool grasslands, blue oak woodlands, and coniferous forests—provide habitat for migratory songbirds, raptors, and rare reptiles and mammals like the endangered giant garter snake and the elusive river otter.

		That leaves the Cosumnes River chinook salmon, which the state considers a threatened species, to spawn in areas of the river where their eggs are less likely to survive.
		Now, the river's midsection is dry and disconnected, and hundreds of salmon are stranded in the Cosumnes in southern Sacramento County.
		Kennedy's season of work on the Cosumnes is almost done, and a short visit recently showed why: The salmon are ready to spawn and their battered bodies are about to give out.

		The fact that the Cosumnes is unregulated, unlike other nearby rivers, has given the little river a leg up as ecologists attempt to restore it to something approaching its natural pristine state.
		The Cosumnes was once one of the most densely populated areas in pre-European America, sustaining the mighty sum of 11 people per square mile at one time.
		The Cosumnes is one of only a handful of rivers where scientists have been able to poke holes in the levees and watch what happens.

		The Cosumnes River is an anomaly in the heart of California’s breadbasket—the last undammed river in the heavily irrigated Central Valley.

	The Consumes River: A Model
		By concentrating the river within an artificially narrow corridor, the Cosumnes' levees actually increased the river's erosive forces, causing the channel bed to drop by up to 10 feet during the past 40 years.
		When the 1997 floods hit and the Cosumnes River recorded its largest flows ever, the 24 levee breaks along a fairly short stretch of river forced the evacuation of thousands of people.
		Not only could rip-rap and other typical channel stabilizing methods increase river velocities and further undermine streambanks, but such flows also could force costly upgrades to the bridge crossings that would be damaged by continuing to force river flows into the artificially narrow channel.

	Modeling Low Flows on the Cosumnes River (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		As a part of a study examining alternatives for flow augmentation for fall run Chinook salmon migration on the Cosumnes River, California, two models were constructed to simulate channel flow combined with seepage losses.
		The two models are used to simulate low flow periods in the Michigan Bar to McConnell reach of the Cosumnes River in order to determine flows associated with a minimum depth necessary for fall run Chinook salmon migration.
		During dry years, the computed flow augmentation volumes represent a significant percentage of the available reservoir storage, indicating that augmentation flows may not always be possible for the entire time period from this source alone.

	(RIVERS REBORN) Small irrigation dams — Cosumnes River
		The Cosumnes River is the only major river flowing out of the Sierra Nevada that does not have a major dam on it.
		Unfortunately, a 34-mile segment of the lower river in the Central Valley is blocked by several small diversion dams, plus some possibly illegal dirt and gravel dams used to divert irrigation water on a seasonal basis.
		It has been estimated that under proper conditions, the Cosumnes could potentially support a run of more than 17,000 chinook salmon.
