In-Stream Flow Enhancement
Sonoma and Gold Ridge RCDs will provide technical assistance to farmers, ranchers, and forestland owners for enhancing streamflow for the recovery of Endangered Central California Coast (CCC) coho salmon in priority Russian River subwatersheds in Sonoma County, California. Technical Assistance will include site visits and recommendations for landowners, the development of BMPs, and the completion of project designs that can be used in application to Farm Bill programs. Streamflow enhancement activities include enhancing irrigation efficiency, storing winter rainwater for dry season use, recharging groundwater, arresting stream incision, controlling erosion and sediment.
