Suggestion: A detailed, color relief map of the San Joaquin River water/power infrastructure which includes in bold type, both the number of the dam, such as Dam 6 and the powerhouse (if any) associated with the reservoir. Such as Dam 6, Powerhouse 3, Redinger Lake reservoir. This is to ease the mind's juggling of numbers while learning the valuable detail of the central valley's largest and most critical watershed, its history and geography. I went to school in this area in the 70's. Thank you.

This is to ease the mind's juggling of numbers while learning the valuable detail of the central valley's largest and most critical watershed, its history and geography. I went to school in this area in the 70's. We learned, in the SCE-built elementary schools, Big Creek Elementary, Sierra Elementary School, the detail of this construction, the hydroelectric output associated and the water output of the watershed and the economic geography or the commercial agricultural production downstream. Today, this local necessity to the world's most productive agricultural valley is neglected in California schools to my knowledge. Thank you Wikipedia for becoming the bearer and public distributor of this critical information. In addition, I'd like to take the opportunity to also suggest, accordingly, a closely associated, color-coded mapping, on the same map, of the geologic history of the rock-units of the San Joaquin River in detail. For example, in green, igneous rock units (banded and stratified in appearance)Cretaceous period, 98 million years ago (98 m.y.a.)but not the more general and less specific geologic term, Cenozoic rock, as many of the popular maps present. Pleistocene gravels would be another specifically detailed strata of a select color to indicate glacial moraines and associated late ice-age landforms of a more recent geologic time-range in the Sierra (circa 12,000 y.a.). Thus Wikipedia accomplishes presentation of both the current data of the technological infrastructure and its relation to the natural history of the watershed of the San Joaquin river, increasing the organization's integrity as a source for in depth coverage of science and technology.
