      <image:caption>From the editor: This photo shows kayakers taking advantage of a rare boatable flow on the Middle Fork of the Yuba River. Due to water impoundment and diversions, including the Yuba-Bear Hydroelectric Project, the river is rarely runnable. In this photo, John Kosakowsky navigates the first class IV rapid at a flow of 450 cubic feet per second. This section of the river is mostly dewatered and kept at flows around 30 cubic feet per second. Photo courtesy of Jeff Wasielewski.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Caption: This is an example hydrograph. Spring through Summer, the period of interest, is shaded in green. The blue line represents a “natural” hydrograph, with high spring flows, largely driven by snowmelt runoff in the Bay-Delta ecosystem. The blue line then steadily decreases through spring to low summer flows. The red line demonstrates the hydrograph shift discussed in this article. The red line shows lower peak flows during spring. This is caused by holding those flows in storage. Then in summer, those flows are released for water deliveries and irrigation. As you can see, the shifted hydrograph has higher summer flows than the natural hydrograph. This is because these flows are shifted from spring to summer.</image:caption>
