Flood Control on the Sacramento River

Ahead of another big storm, The Lookout is offering up geography lessons. Our first lecture is on flood control systems on the Sacramento, American, and Feather Rivers. We take a tour of Northern California, talking about levees, weirs, bypasses, pumps, rain on snow, dam releases, fish, irrigation, dams, and the big picture of water management on the Sacramento River. The Lookout is 100% user-supported. If you enjoy our content, please consider becoming a subscriber! More information here: http://the-lookout.org/donate
