	Salinas River (California) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Salinas River is a major river of the central coast of California in the United States, approximately 150 mi (240 km) long.
		It drains the long Salinas Valley that stretches through the Coast Range south from Monterey Bay, providing a principal source of water for the farms and vineyards of the valley.
		The river does reach the Pacific in its main channel but is diverted northward along the edge of the bay in the Old Salinas River, joining a slough on Monterey Bay southwest of Watsonville

	Sustainable Conservation \| The Salinas River Permit Coordination Program (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The Salinas River Partners in Restoration (PIR) permit coordination program is a model public-private effort that encourages and supports local farmers, ranchers, and landowners who are improving water quality and wildlife habitat on and near their lands.
		The core of the Salinas River PIR is the watershed-based agreements entered into by local, state, and federal regulatory agencies and the NRCS and the RCD of Monterey County.
		Under Salinas River PIR, a cooperator receiving technical and/or cost share assistance from the NRCS or the RCD of Monterey County is allowed to implement the associated conservation practices without seeking individual permits—provided they partner with the NRCS and RCD of Monterey County and carefully follow the terms of the program's agreements.

		When Charles King, King City founder, first saw the Salinas Valley it was a dry, windswept expanse of sand, tabbed on maps of the time as "the great Salinas desert." The Salinas River ran bank to bank in wet years, a raging torrent that carried away all in its path in the winter.
		Their planning and that of subsequent councils established a foundation that has given King City sound civic growth, moving it from the "Hog Town" it was called by its critics in the early days to one of the outstanding small towns of the west.

	Sediments Sink River's Flow into Sea: Science News Online, Nov. 17, 2001 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Normally, the river waters mix with the ocean to form a brackish blend, and any sediments carried by the flow settle out in shallow water to form the river's delta.
		The occurrence of underflows or hyperpycnal currents originating from the mouth of the Salinas River should be no surprise, given the long-known riverine bathometric feature existing between the river and Monterey Canyon.
		The river has a high sediment load, so if these currents weren't present, sediments from the Salinas River would settle on the continental shelf without creation or sustenance of the riverine bathometric feature that exists today.

		The upper Salinas River basin has very little suitable habitat for steelhead and the habitat that exists is of lower quality and less extensive than the habitat in the Arroyo Seco.
		The condition where all of the bypassed water would stay in the river channel is most likely to occur during winter months when flow in the river exceeds the rate at which surface flow infiltrates the underlying aquifer.

		When he first came to the Salinas Valley in 1901 and started a tiny weekly newspaper, they called him “Visionary Vivian.” His editorials propounded his dream, which was to cut up the large land grants along the Salinas River and bring the Salinas Valley under irrigation.
		The Salinas Valley, now long known as the “Salad Bowl of the Nation,” one of the very prime row crop and grape regions of America, was then planted only to wheat, and sparsely at that.
		The Salinas River wound its course through the middle of the arid land, bone dry in the summer and overflowing its banks in the winter to flood the willows, the only green crop that flourished.
