It was to have been Script error: No such module "convert". high and was to be located Script error: No such module "convert". upstream of the river's mouth.

It would have flooded Script error: No such module "convert". of the Trinity River, including the Yurok, Karuk and Hupa Indian Reservations, the lower Salmon River, and Script error: No such module "convert". of the Klamath River, creating a reservoir with a volume of Script error: No such module "convert". – three fifths the size of Lake Mead, and over three times the size of the current largest reservoir in California, Shasta Lake. The water would flow by gravity through a tunnel Script error: No such module "convert". long to the Sacramento River just above Redding and onward to Southern California, in an extreme diversion plan known as the Klamath Diversion. The tunnel would have been located near the southernmost extent of the reservoir. It was named in the language of the Yurok people.
