Have you seen the @USACESPN Bay Model in Sausalito? 🤯 The football-field-size replica of the #baydelta watershed from the Golden Gate to the #sacdelta was built in 1957 to study tides + potential impacts of the country’s largest civil works projects at the time! #baydeltatour

Happy New Water Year! 🥳 #DYK researchers + natural resource managers use October 1 as the start of each water year because it historically marks the start of California's rainy season? 🌧️ Here's to a bountiful 2019-2020 with plenty of #cawater for all! 💧

Scientists think flooded #rice fields could act as nursery habitat for fish like juvenile #salmon . 🐟 Water that stays in one place longer typically produces more food. Longer residence time ➡️ more food ➡️ bigger, healthier #fish ! 📽️:
