Most ecologically rich estuary systems in the world. The problem is much of that natural ecology disappeared after the gold watch. Steve paulson tells us how information from the past is now being used to protect some areas from flooding during this el nio winter. The natural defense against flooding has been altered over the decades. Mud flats and wetlands, now replaced by urban sprawl and farms. In order to restore the landscape and natural functions, we have to look back to see how it was before. Clues come from trappers diaries, survey maps, spanish explorer maps and even photographs. Think modern day ecology detectors. Its a puzzle. Theres little pieces of information all over the place. Historical societies, even personal collections and memories. We have to figure out how to we get together. It takes us back 150, 200 years. To have a landscape, how it us about what it can do in the future. Reporter its an extremely timeconsuming process developed by the Estuary Institute to take this information, to see how it looked and what can be done to improve the landscape and future flood issues now. One area they focused on is the napa river valley. Some of the earliest maps of the napa wetlands and rivers were made by the United States coastal survey. Thats in the 1850s. Just a few years after the gold rush. Reporter photos and even oak trees once very abundant throughout the napa valley are all part of the equation. Even paintings along the napa river from 1885 offer clues. When you start layering that with other sources, area photographs of soils maps and explorer accounts, then you start to get the rigorous and coherent picture of what the landscape was like. Reporter the napa river was drenched many times years ago yet we have learned from our were standing in the old old middle section where the napa river flows in. At one time this was a very bustling area with a lot of industry. In fact, look across the napa river, you would never know but 10 years ago, that whole site over there was covered with buildings and a lot of industries, lumber mill as well, all since been removed, contaminants removed and the river which at one time looked like a canal looks like it did, its been restored. The health of the napa river continues to improve. The river otters have returned along with a much healthier fish population. Even salmon are now returning. This hasnt happened since the early 1900s. Possibly the late 1800s. There was a dam that probably kept salmon from spawning in the river for about 30 years. So the chinook salmon are moving back into the river system. Really excited to see. Reporter if and when el nio rains to return, they will allow water to flow more naturally and not overwhelm the weve learned a lot from historical ecology about how to design natural flood protection so we are working in sync with the river. Reporter steve paulson, ktvu fox 2 news. Napa did pick up heavy rain today. Right now, the focus in the southern half of the bay area.
