The Hetch Hetchy Study
URL: http://hetchhetchy.water.ca.gov

Description:
In 2005 the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) are reviewing existing studies on the impacts of restoring the Hetch Hetchy Valley (near Yosemite, California) that would entail removing the Hetch Hetchy dam and reservoir, which currently supply water and power to the San Francisco Bay Area. The site includes an overview of the restoration study scope and process, documents, and links to related information.
