Will Wet Winter Change Russian River’s Summer Flows? – May 15, 2017

With ample water available this summer, how much will be flowing through the Russian River?

In recent years, lower summertime flows in the Russian River have been necessary for water conservation as well as the benefit of young salmon preparing to head out to sea. But this year, with ample water available, the calculus may be different.

The county water agency will hold its annual community meeting on the condition and management of Russian River estuary tonight in Monte Rio. You can find details about that, and hear more about the river and its fish on the North Bay Report webpage at KRCB dot org/news.
