Welcome

In the Watersheds section, you can find a wide range of information on the interlinked plumbing of the Yuba, Bear, and American watersheds as well as a range of stated interests articulated by conservation groups in the watersheds.

Hydropower Relicensing is a once-in-lifetime opportunity to improve flow regimes, water quality and fish passage as well as restore aquatic and riparian ecosystems along more than 100 miles of river in these interlinked basins. The Hydropower Relicensing section of this website describes the process of hydropower relicensing and offers a wide range of information on the upcoming relicensings in the Yuba, Bear, and Middle Fork American watersheds.

From the Maps button, you can directly access maps of the Yuba, Bear, and American interlinked watersheds showing salmon habitat, mixed water delivery, and water utility schematics.
