The San Joaquin River Restoration Program (SJRRP)
is a comprehensive long-term effort to restore flows to the San
Joaquin River from Friant Dam to the confluence of Merced River and restore
a self-sustaining Chinook salmon fishery in the river while reducing or avoiding adverse water supply impacts from restoration flows. More...
The first water releases from Friant Dam in support of the SJRRP, called Interim Flows, began at 6 p.m. on October 1, 2009. Interim Flow releases are under way for 2010. Visit the Newsroom and the Interim Flows page for more information.Photos
