In the Winter 2017 issue of the Water Education Foundation’s Western Water, Writer Gary Pitzer delves into preservation and restoration efforts of salmon in Northern California.

Significant resources have been dedicated to helping the various runs of the iconic fish, with successes and setbacks. In a landscape dramatically altered from its natural setting, finding a balance between the competing demands for water is challenging.”
