SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) – A year-round survey is keeping tabs on oxygen levels in the American River.
Operating with Sacramento Water Forum funding since 2022, the project measures dissolved oxygen from below the Folsom Dam to Nimbus Basin; surveys also extend to Fair Oaks and Watt Avenue reaches.
Although dissolved oxygen levels are critical to all river health, research is particularly supportive to Chinook salmon reproduction.
