From high in the mountains of Sequoia National Park to the fertile farmland of the valley floor, the Kaweah River is one of the central California’s major rivers. We explore its history and what makes it unusual, today on KVPR’s Central Valley Roots. … [A]s the river enters the floor of the San Joaquin Valley, it does something unusual, at least for our region. While most of our other rivers continue to collect smaller tributaries as they head downstream, the Kaweah does the opposite. It spreads out in multiple smaller creeks, in a broad alluvial fan, creating the fertile Kaweah Delta.
