"The river will not necessarily be restored to its full... Too much has changed in the decades since it was dammed." (2) Once the rivers start being restored, not everything will automatically go back to how conditions were four years ago. It will progress slowly and my hopes are citizens of California will learn to be more wise with their water usage, so when the river is fully restored there will not be another drought making the $400 million spent a waste. "Within a few years, thousands of salmon should be swimming upstream through what is now a parched valley landscape." (1) As of now, there are no salmon due to the San Joaquin River being completely dried out. With this project, biologists expect to see a river full of salmon thriving where their home once was. Even though citizens might not want to cut down on their usage of water because they feel like it was affecting them drastically, they should at least try to make minimal changes and evolve from
