The Bureau of Reclamation released water from Keswick Dam just after midnight Wednesday, causing water levels to rise along the Sacramento River. The flow reached about 10,000 cubic feet per second by 1 a.m. The increase is part of a spring pulse flow, a short-term release designed to mimic natural river conditions. The release helps juvenile Chinook salmon migrate safely to the Pacific Ocean. … While the pulse flow benefits salmon, officials warn it may also create dangerous river conditions for anyone nearby.
