Russian River: Aquafornia Water Word of the Week
Aquafornia’s Water Word of the Week from sister site Aquapedia — the Water Education Foundation’s online water encyclopedia — is Russian River, which is among the eight tour destinations that will be offered by the Foundation in 2014.
According to an Aquapedia excerpt, “The Russian River is one of the major northern streams that drain the sparsely populated, forested coastal area that stretches from San Francisco to the Oregon border. Other North Coast waterways include the Klamath, Trinity, Eel and Smith [see also Aquapedia’s entry on North Coast Rivers].”
If you’d like to explore the Russian River further, Aquapedia’s entry also lists the “Layperson’s Guide to Flood Management” and “A Tale of Two Rivers: The Russian and the Santa Ana, Western Water, May/June 2009.”
To get a firsthand look at the Russian River, sign up now for the Foundation’s Oct. 9-10 tour.
Along with definitions about Western water resource issues, Aquapedia includes videos, photos, master map, timelines, water terms, a directory of water interests, bios about historical water people, and a useful acronyms section.
