BCID, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and other Federal, State, and municipal agencies collaborated to build a fish screen facility at BCID’s diversion point on the San Joaquin River.
A fish-friendly pumping system highlights the fish screen facility that provides protection to threatened and endangered fish species. The facility went into operation on April 2, 2002.
BCID has diverted water from the San Joaquin River since the early 1900s, but the diversion had been unscreened during most of its operational life.
