San Jose Mercury News - Online (October 24, 2014) - The 14,000-acre valley in Colusa County is the proposed location of Sites Reservoir, a project that's been talked about in California since Dwight Eisenhower was president. Building it would mean inundating the tiny town of Sites and several ranches with a tidal wave of water siphoned from the Sacramento River during wet years. "We must be coldhearted about public investment decisions," said Jay Lund, a civil and environmental engineering professor who directs the Center for Watershed Sciences at UC Davis. He has not yet taken a position on the bond.
