Center for Watershed Sciences
California features some of the most intensely managed watersheds in the world. Its rivers and streams nourish California's economy and provide drinking water to most of its citizens. Scientists, researchers and students at the Center for Watershed Sciences are tackling watershed restoration and management problems across California.[ More ]

Tuolumne River Field Courses
This July and August, Drs. Jeffrey Mount and Peter Moyle will teach two 2-day field courses on The Tuolumne River: Ecology, Resource Management and Whitewater. All classwork will take place on California's premier whitewater river.
State of the Salmonids
A new report systematically assesses the status of California’s populations of salmon, steelhead, and trout and finds that they are in deep trouble. 20 of 31 living taxa (65%) are in danger of extinction within the next century.
Navigating the Delta: Comparing Futures, Choosing Options
A successor to last year’s Envisioning Futures report, the new Comparing Futures report seeks to answer the question: What water management strategy for this vital estuary meets both environmental sustainability and water supply reliability goals? Authored by six UC Davis scientists in collaboration with the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC).
