v 2.4.3.0

The California Water Commission proposed constructing a new lake in Northern California that would hold enough water for 3 million households in one year. This lake, to be called Sites Reservoir, would be the first new water storage project in years. While the water storage would be beneficial, the reservoir would speed up the extinction of an endangered salmon species and disrupt the cultural traditions of some native tribes. The Sites Reservoir would not rely on a river flowing into it, but would be filled by water pumped from the Sacramento River when there is excess to bank in the reservoir.
