Augmenting the resources of water-scarce regions by interbasin transfer is another established option, although proposed schemes must demonstrate the social, environmental and economic benefits to both the donating and the receiving basins.

Many streams in Ecoregion 63f have been straightened and deepened to improve drainage and interbasin connections in headwater areas are not uncommon (Cushing and others, 1973).

Human activities, such as land-use change, water storage, interbasin transfers, and irrigation and drainage, influence the hydrological cycle in many river basins (see Chapter 4) [165].

These estimates do not include additional waters which could be used for irrigation if major interbasin transfer of water were undertaken.

The connection from the Pit River drainage to Eagle Lake for this interbasin dispersal of trout came from the lower Pit River, an area where redband trout and coastal rainbow trout would be expected to have come into contact and mixed to produce a trout intermediate between coastal rainbow and northern Sacramento redband trout.
