Potential effects of global warming on the Sacramento/San Joaquin watershed and the San Francisco estuary
[1] California’s primary hydrologic system, the San Francisco estuary and its upstream watershed, is vulnerable to the regional hydrologic consequences of projected global climate change. Projected temperature anomalies from a global climate model are used to drive a combined model of watershed hydrology and estuarine dynamics. By 2090, a projected temperature increase of 2.1 C results in a los...
متن کاملCalifornia’s Sacramento San Joaquin Delta Conflict: from Cooperation to Chicken
California’s Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta is the major hub of California’s water supply system and is central to the ecosystem of many native threatened and endangered species. Conflicts over the Delta have evolved over more than a century. This paper traces changes in this conflict in game theoretic terms, with its implications for the region’s physical and ecological decline and governance...
متن کاملLosses of Sacramento River Chinook Salmon and Delta Smelt to Entrainment in Water Diversions in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta
Pumping at the water export facilities in the southern Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta kills fish at and near the associated fish-salvage facilities. Correlative analyses of salvage counts with population indices have failed to provide quantitative estimates of the magnitude of this mortality. I estimated the proportional losses of Sacramento River Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and del...
متن کاملEstimates of suspended sediment entering San Francisco Bay from the Sacramento and San Joaquin Delta, San Francisco Bay, California
This study demonstrates the use of suspended-sediment concentration (SSC) data collected at Mallard Island as a means of determining suspended-sediment load entering San Francisco Bay from the Sacramento and San Joaquin River watersheds. Optical backscatter (OBS) data were collected every 15 min during water years (WYs) 1995–2003 and converted to SSC. Daily fluvial advective sediment load was e...
متن کاملEcological Segregation of Native and Alien Larval Fish Assemblages in the Southern Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta
—Fish larvae were sampled at multiple fixed sites from late winter to early summer over 6 years (1990–1995) in the southern Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta. A total of 394,797 fish larvae representing 15 species or taxonomic groups was collected. The assemblage was numerically dominated by three species that represented 98% of the total catch: alien shimofuri goby Tridentiger bifasciatus (71%), th...
