This article covers the topic of the salmon population on the Tuolumne River. The dams that block the flow of water on this river are the; La grange dam, and the Don Pedro Dam which is over 500' high. That is a little to high for a salmon to jump. So in order to get these salmon to spawning grounds we must figure out a method that will work the best.
This article matters because the salmon populations are dissipating rapidly because of the drought, and the dams that block their path to ancient spawning grounds. If we do not find a way for this species to get around our dams then eventually they will no longer be in the waters of the Tuolumne River.
