Diverters of Tuolumne River water suddenly see hope for state agreement on fish flows
The main diverters of Tuolumne River water could be closing in, finally, on an agreement with the state on fish protections. The boards of the Modesto and Turlock irrigation districts voted separately Tuesday to direct their staffs to finalize the deal. Details have not yet been disclosed on how much water would be released from Don Pedro Reservoir to support salmon and other fish in the lower river.
