 Rock Slough Fish Screen – Contra Costa Water District -
Contra Costa Water District in California, constructed a state-of-the-art fish screen at the District's Rock Slough Intake, which is located in eastern Contra Costa County at the start of the Contra Costa Canal.

This gives the District increased operational flexibility to protect sensitive fish species in the Delta and its access to the Delta as a water source.
