| A Closer Look at Impediments to Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) Migration in Lower Putah Creek, CA. Author(s): Abstract/Description: Abstract Fall-run Chinook salmon spawning activity in lower Putah Creek has increased in recent years leading to heightened interest in salmonid habitat restoration in a section of creek that has not historically been managed for anadromous fish. We collected physical habitat data during the fall 2004 migration period in order to determine the relative importance of three potential limiting factors for salmon migration: water temperature, minimum dissolved oxygen, and physical barriers. We conclude that under current stream management practices temperature and dissolved oxygen levels are not currently major impediments to salmon during the fall migration period. However, under certain stream flow conditions beaver dams and other barriers have the potential to significantly impede fall salmon runs. ... |

| Lower Putah Creek Watershed Management Action Plan Author(s): Abstract/Description: The Lower Putah Creek Watershed Management Action Plan (WMAP) represents Phase I of a three-phase program for enhancing watershed resources in the lower Putah Creek watershed. The WMAP is a comprehensive science-based and community-based approach to protect and enhance resources in the lower Putah Creek riparian corridor, including tributaries, extending from Lake Berryessa to the Yolo Bypass. The Lower Putah Creek Coordinating Committee (LPCCC), formed by a settlement agreement (Accord) between Solano County water users and Yolo County environmental advocates concerning the adequacy of flows to protect fish and wildlife resources of Putah Creek, consists of representatives of Solano and Yolo counties with interests in the protection of Putah Creek resources. The LPCCC represents the Boards of Supervisors of Solano and Yolo counties; Cities of Davis, Fairfield, Suisun, Vacaville, Vallejo, and Winters; Solano County Water Agency; Solano Irrigation District; Maine Prairie Water District; University of California, Davis; Putah Creek Council; and riparian landowners. The WMAP is one of the first actions initiated by the LPCCC, through funding by a grant from the CALFED Bay-Delta Program. The LPCCC serves as the watershed group joining several primary stakeholders together to oversee implementation of the Accord and to begin planning for protecting and enhancing of Putah Creek’s resources. This is a dynamic WMAP that landowners and other stakeholders can use as a framework and that will be updated with new information and new ideas to improve the watershed. It provides landowners and management entities with a blueprint for actions to protect and enhance resources in the lower Putah Creek watershed in a manner that is compatible with and respectful of landowner priorities, interests, and concerns. ... |
| Lower Putah Creek Watershed Managment Action Plan - Proposed Projects Author(s): Abstract/Description: The Lower Putah Creek Watershed Management Action Plan - Proposed Projects (2008) is a scientifically-based and community-supported priority list of projects to restore and enhance the resources of Lower Putah Creek. It is derived from physical and biological assessments of Lower Putah Creek published in the WMAP Phase I Assessesments (2005) and stakeholder discussions published in the Lower Putah Creek Coordinating Committee's Report to the Community (2006). ... |

| Putah and Cache - A Thinking Mammal's Guide to the Watershed Author(s): Amy Boyer Abstract/Description: Putah and Cache creeks, tributaries of the Sacramento River, contain more than can be packed into one volume. We tried packing them into a book anyway, starting on Putah Creek where it used to transform itself into tule marshes, heading upstream to Clear Lake, and returning down Cache Creek to the wetlands of the Yolo Basin. UC Davis researchers gave us rocks, birds, fish and flora. Graduate students went in search of interviews, and found them. Numerous local writers gave us poems, essays, and stories: the human desires, dreams, and sometimes hurts that shape how we live in a place and how we shape that place in turn. Libraries provided the thoughts of people first discovering the place. As the various places in the region differ, so different chapters of the book differ: some are mainly about the non-human inhabitants, some mainly about the human inhabitants, most are a mix. We hope that you enjoy your journey through this, our home place.... |
