The City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), is currently in the process of rehabilitating a stream in the Owens Valley, California. This stream is located in the Owens Gorge and had been dry from 1953 to 1991. This paper gives an overview of the history of hydroelectric generation in the Gorge, and an explanation of how the LADWP is working with Mono County and the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), to rehabilitate the stream and establish a fishery in the Gorge.
