IRS990/Desc0Conservation Hydrology:In 2016, CEMAR continued to achieve the goals of its Conservation Hydrology program working in partnerships to examine how water can be better managed to meet the needs of farms and fish in coastal California, and supporting on-the-ground projects to improve water security for people and support sustained summer flows for fish.We continued to work with the Nature Conservancy (TNC) to examine how streamflow dynamics in summer could be improved through improved water management in the Navarro River watershed. As in previous years, we worked with TNC staff to maintain sixteen streamflow gauges in the Navarro River and its main tributaries; we measured streamflow monthly and used those measurements and recorded stage data to develop streamflow records. We also worked to update models of human-streamflow dynamics in the watershed through analyses of water needs and water rights; and prepared draft water rights applications for vineyard owners in the Navarro watershed. Our ongoing partnerships through the Coastal Streamflow Stewardship Project (CSSP) and Russian River Coho Partnership continued to evolve into latter project phases that result in on-the-ground projects that our research indicates will improve streamflow for salmon in coastal California. In the Russian River watershed, we worked with the Gold Ridge RCD and Trout Unlimited (TU) to develop offstream water storage for a recreational camp along Dutch Bill Creek; when constructed, this will eliminate the most significant surface water diversion in the watershed. We also worked with the Sotoyome RCD to support the implementation of water storage projects for five houses in the Mill Creek watershed. In San Gregorio Creek, we worked with Trout Unlimited on a water right for winter storage that will result in the removal of one of the largest diversions from the watershed during summer. In Little Arthur Creek, we provided hydrologic analysis to support the installation of tanks for ten residences located along the stream that will store water in the winter for use throughout the summer season; these tanks will replace diversions that otherwise would divert water from the creek or shallow adjacent groundwater through summer. These projects in Little Arthur Creek and San Gregorio Creek will enhance flow for fish through the dry summer season

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Steelhead Restoration: In 2016, CEMAR advanced understanding of steelhead use of regional streams by continuing to monitor adult migration in Alameda Creek and completing trapping outmigrating juveniles and conducting a habitat evaluation in the Napa River watershed, leading to draft streamflow thresholds for various life history stages of steelhead. Staff completed creating the regional Comprehensive Conservation and Monitoring Program's actions to protect and enhance the region's stream resources. Staff evaluated restoration proposals on behalf of the California State Coastal Conservancy and the Ocean Protection Council. Staff addressed a high school class, multiple landowners and the Sierra Club regarding important actions needed to protect and enhance Napa River watershed habitat. Staff trained participants on steelhead life history and habitat needs in a river restoration program on behalf of Friends of the River.
