The International Society for River Science (ISRS) will be holding the 7th International Symposium on River Science at the University of California, Davis from October 6-10, 2025 hosted by @UCDavisWater! Abstracts are due Friday May 16, 2025. Learn more: https://t.co/AsRjDnTSAq
Different scientists often get different effect sizes (results) due to the analytical decisions they make.
What can we learn from being aware of this issue? Jon Walter explores in this week's California Waterblog entry: 💡⏬

I am so proud of Rypel Lab alum Lauren Hitt for publishing this important paper in @ESAEcosphere on natality of Putah Creek salmon:

A press release was published by @ucdavis on it this morning
https://t.co/kF5oL9dVUb
📢 And also very happy to publicly announce we now have scientific evidence Putah Creek has a sizable population of natal Chinook salmon! The population of these fish is growing and was founded, perhaps ironically, by hatchery strays 💚🐟🎏

This is a great look at how this winter is shaping up, and what it will mean for #cawater this year, via @ezraromero @KQED.
Warming winters mean less snowpack, which complicates reservoir management. W/quotes from PPIC's Jeff Mount and Greg Gartrell.

Putah Creek is one of the greatest env'tl comeback stories I've been a part of. And as Ethan's new paper in @ESAApplications shows (summarized in blog 👇) - the proof is in the pudding/data. And with new models, we can learn how to make env'tl flows/mgmt even better still 💪🏞️🐟
It's #nationalscienceday, and we're looking for 3️⃣prominent scientists to serve on the Delta ISB!

Ahead of #PresidentsDay Weekend, we are sharing @UCDavisWater's California WaterBlog post on Jimmy Carter and Floodplain Management. Read more here: https://t.co/ccEvjnRoI3 #CAWater
🌊 Meet Farrah Tyler, a CalTrout Fellow mapping the future of the Eel River watershed! Using GIS, she’s protecting threatened salmon & crushing it as a triathlete. 🐟 Her advice: "Follow environments you love & people doing good work.” 🌎 Read more: https://t.co/DFy0SuJmEV
What's the future of California water policy under the Trump administration? Because water is a state issue, existing policies will likely continue -- but disputes with the federal govt may stop CA from going further, writes Karrigan Börk @UCDavisWater https://t.co/rMLaMAUK1L
"We will likely see significant indirect impacts on California water issues, as conflict with the federal government diverts time and resources from climate change, indigenous issues, and other environmental challenges." — @ucdavis Law Prof. Karrigan Börk via California WaterBlog
Big congrats to Rachelle Tallman on publication of her experimental salmon-rice work in River Research and Applications! Thsi work shows how growth & in-field survival of juvenile Chinook salmon is high in rice. These results are impt for managers 🧵⬇️
