How will the Groveland water supply in Tuolumne County be protected?
Groveland receives water from the Hetch Hetchy system. They will continue to do so: there will be no diminution of their supply. Their supply should also be filtered. • What will be the effects on whitewater rafting and fishing downstream of the dam? Without the dam, there will be some periods in the spring where flows are too high to raft. But a new flow release regime would in fact greatly extend the whitewater rafting and kayaking season, and increase recreational opportunities. Minimum fish releases would remain in place. A more natural water flow cycle will occur below Hetch Hetchy Valley than occurs today. Furthermore, six miles of premium trout stream will be restored in Hetch Hetchy Valley. • What is CalFed, and will there be any effects on state water planning? Cal Fed is a joint state-federal water planning program dealing with water supplies in California’s Central Valley. San Francisco has long refused to release any of its water down the Tuolumne to the Sacramento-San Joaq
