	Santa Ana River Watershed Overview
		The headwaters for the Santa Ana River and its tributaries are in the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains to the north and the San Gorgonio and San Jacinto Mountains to the east.
		The floodplains along the river were the first to be developed because the flat land could be easily irrigated by diverting the perennial flows from the Santa Ana River.
		The upper elevations of the San Gabriel, the San Bernardino and, to lesser extent, the Santa Ana Mountains are dominated by conifer forests interspersed with mixed woodlands.

		SAR water, which is available for treatment at the 12-million gallons per day (mgd) Hinckley Water Treatment Plant is comprised of runoff from the drainage basin of the upper reaches of the river and of water from Big Bear Lake (City of Redlands, 1995).
		The Santa Ana River south of its confluence with Bear Creek is a boulder-strewn stream with steep canyon walls and a canyon bottom of sand, gravel, and scattered boulders (City of Redlands, 1995).
		The eastern portion of the SAR lower watershed is drained by the Greenville-Banning Channel and the Santa Ana River.

		The Santa Ana sucker generally lives in small, shallow streams, less than 7 meters in width, with currents ranging from swift in the canyons to sluggish in the bottom lands.
		The portions of the Santa Ana River occupied by the Santa Ana sucker constitute approximately 60 percent of the total remaining native range of the species.
		Santa Ana suckers are intolerant of polluted or highly modified streams, consequently, the water quality must be maintained to provide breeding locations for this species.

		The Santa Ana River Woolly Star - an endangered plant with stringy branches and small, purplish tubular flowers - is the subject of a long-term research project that has broad implications for the wildlife habitat throughout the river basin, according to Eugene Jones, chair and professor of biological sciences.
		Jones, whose specialty is plant reproductive biology, and Jack Burk, professor of biological science and an expert in plant population ecology, have studied the plant and the potential effects of a dam on its habitat since 1987, under grants from government and private agencies.
		It is a major indication of disappearing river habitats in Southern California," Jones said.
