Amajyaruguru ya Kaliforuniya ya kilometero kare 1,250 y’amazi n’imirima ni ahantu h’ibihe bine by’abakunzi ba siporo y’amazi kandi bakaba batuyemo imigezi myinshi.
Umuyaga wari ipfundo 20 kandi umuyaga ushyushye wahuhaga ubwato mugihe twegereye iburengerazuba, munsi yumugezi no kumanuka kumugezi wa Sakramento.Twanyuze hejuru yizinga rya Sherman, tunyura buhoro buhoro itsinda ryaba kitesurfers hamwe numuyaga uhuha hejuru yigitereko maze tugatera ibimenyetso byamahoro. .Montezuma yikubita mu burengerazuba mu buryo bwihuse, yuzuyemo uduce twinshi twumuyaga uhuha, mugihe urubingo ruhanamye rwiburasirazuba, ruzamuka ruhuza umukumbi wamira, uhinda umushyitsi.
Twerekeje iburasirazuba, tuzengurutse epfo ya Bend ya Island ya Decker, twanyuze hejuru yimigozi ya barge yangiritse, amagorofa yegeranye yuzuyeho ibihuru, hanyuma tumanura inanga hafi yigiti kinini cyimeza. Izuba ryarenze kandi ubushyo bwinka bwaranyuze mumazi, tureba. amakenga mu cyerekezo cyacu ubwo twasimbukaga umuheto koga.
Hari muri Gicurasi 2021 kandi njye n'umugabo wanjye Alex twari kuri Saltbreaker, 32ft 1979 Ubwato bwa Valiant bwato yaguze na murumuna we hashize imyaka 10. Nyuma y'amezi y'imivurungano, intimba, n'amaganya biturutse ku cyorezo, njye na Alex twifuzaga gusohoka kandi koga izuba - ni gake mu mezi yizuba iwacu iwacu mu burengerazuba bwa San Francisco The - Shakisha inzira zidasanzwe, zizunguruka za Sakramento-San Joaquin Delta. Uru rugendo rwicyumweru ruzaba icyumweru cya mbere tuzasura '. ve yakorewe mukarere mumezi ashize.
Nkuko twese tubizi, Delta ni sisitemu igoye kandi yagutse ya kilometero kare 1,250 y'amazi n'ubutaka bwo guhinga bushingiye ku masangano y'Uruzi rwa Sakramento na San Joaquin. Mubusanzwe igishanga kinini gituwe n'inyoni nyinshi n'amafi kandi bikayoborwa nabasangwabutaka, delta, kimwe nibintu byinshi muri Californiya, yarahindutse kuburyo butangaje. Guhera mu kinyejana cya 19 rwagati, hasubijwe itegeko rya Everglades ryo mu 1850, Gold Rush, hamwe n’abaturage ba Californiya ryagutse, ibishanga byaracukuwe, biruma, bihingwa kugira ngo bigaragaze abakire ifu;nini nini yakozwe muri Reta zunzubumwe zamerika Muri umwe mu mishinga yo gutunganya ubutaka, amazi yahagaritswe na dike.
Inzira nyinshi zifunganye, zigenda zuzura - cobwebs yamaraso ya capillary atemba ava mumigezi ya arterial anyura mu bishanga - yashushanyijeho umurongo ugororotse kugirango arusheho gukorera neza aho nyabagendwa ya San Francisco, Sakramento na Stockton.Uruzi ubwarwo rwacukuwe mu myanda yakozwe n’ubucukuzi bwa Siyera Nevada. . muremure cyane hejuru yubutaka kumpande zombi.Murakoze kuri iyo miyoboro ihindura inkombe, ibi bibaho kenshi bihagije kugirango twemerere kureba hasi kubutaka bwa metero icumi munsi yamazi.
Ntibishobora kumenyekana muburyo bwumwimerere, delta ikomeza kuba imikoranire ihuza ubutaka namazi.Isi yumuyaga mwinshi wicyatsi kibisi, ubururu na zahabu, ibibanza byiganjemo imigezi migari hamwe numuyoboro winzira zamazi zinyura mumirima yubuhinzi no mumijyi yinzuzi ihuza ibiraro. .Gufungura, inzira itaziguye kuva ahantu hamwe ujya ahandi ni hejuru y'amazi. Kugeza aho usanga amoko arenga 750 kavukire, delta niyo nyoni nini yimuka ihagarara kuri pasifika yimuka ya pasifika hamwe nikigo kinini cyubuhinzi, hamwe na asparagus, amapera, amande. , inzabibu za vino n’amatungo byose byungukira ku butaka bwayo burumbuka.Ni kandi ahantu h’ibihe bine byo gukinira siporo y’umuyaga, ubwato, n’uburobyi, ndetse n’umuryango aho usanga, nubwo ari isaha imwe uvuye San Francisco, ntakintu kimeze nkakarere ka Bay. .
Amazi ya Kaliforuniya amaze igihe kinini avugwaho rumwe, akaba yarushijeho kuba impaka uko ubushyuhe bwiyongera ndetse n’amapfa akiyongera. Delta ni hafi bibiri bya gatatu by’amasoko y’ibanze ya leta kandi itangwa n’amazi meza aturuka muri Siyera Lewone, nkuko Minisiteri y’ububanyi n’amahanga ibitangaza. y’amazi y’amazi.Ariko delta nayo yibasiwe na sisitemu y’amazi ya San Francisco Bay kandi igomba guhangana n’igabanuka ry’urubura hamwe n’izamuka ry’inyanja - byombi bifite ubushobozi bwo guhungabanya imiterere y’amazi meza mu gihe byongera ibyago byo gukabya. umwuzure. Ihuriro ryo gutakaza aho gutura, ihinduka ryubwiza bwamazi n’imiterere yimigezi iva ku rugomero rwo hejuru nabyo byagize ingaruka ku moko kavukire nka delta hafi ya delta.
Uko imyaka yagendaga ihita niko amazi yazamutse, ubuso bwakozwe na levee bwari bumeze nabi cyane.Uruhande rwubatswe hejuru.Ibirwa byinshi byakozwe n'abantu ubu biri munsi ya metero 25 munsi y’amazi kubera ubwinshi bw’imisozi no gutakaza ubutaka. .Ibikorwa remezo bya levee ubwabyo bigomba kuvugururwa mugihe sisitemu ihura n’impanuka ziterwa n’umwuzure, kwangirika muri rusange hamwe na nyamugigima.
Ibyifuzo biherutse byo gukemura ibyo bibazo no gukomeza Californiya ikenera amazi harimo kubaka umuyoboro uzwi ku izina rya Delta Delivery Project, kugirango ushobore kuvoma neza amazi meza mu bindi bihugu byose.Umushinga uri mu ishami rishinzwe umutungo w’amazi. Gahunda ya Leta y’amazi, ikaba ari kimwe mu bigo byinshi bifite uburenganzira bw’amazi mu karere, harimo amakomine y’ibanze ndetse na guverinoma ihuriweho na leta.
Muri iki gihe umushinga wa Conveyance urimo gusuzumwa ku bidukikije, ariko kubera ko ejo hazaza h’akarere ndetse n’ejo hazaza h’amazi ya leta haringaniye, kuko amatsinda agera kuri 200 abigiramo uruhare kandi afite ijwi. (Benshi mubucuruzi bwaho nanyuzemo kariya gace bagaragarije leta gusaba "guhagarika umuyoboro no gukiza delta yacu!") Izi nyungu zidaharanira inyungu, amasosiyete ahinga inganda, abaturage baho hamwe nandi matsinda baravuga kugirango bakize delta bakwiriye Ni: isoko y'amazi, irinzwe urusobe rw'ibinyabuzima, ahantu ho kwidagadurira hashobora kugerwaho, gukusanya abaturage, cyangwa guhuriza hamwe kwabo.Inama ishinzwe igisonga cya Delta ni urwego rwigihugu rwashyizweho kugirango rutezimbere gahunda ndende yo gucunga hitawe kubikenerwa ninyungu zipiganwa.
Umuyobozi wungirije ushinzwe igenamigambi rya komisiyo, Harriet Ross yagize ati: "Gushakisha uko twahangana n’imihindagurikire y’ikirere ntabwo byihariye kuri delta, ariko birashoboka ko bigoye hano kuko dufite inyungu zitandukanye."
Nta mpaka zijyanye no gusuzuma Delta: ni amabuye yihishe kuri buri wese.Twakoresheje icyumweru cyacu cya mbere tunyura mu nzuzi no mu byondo, tunyura ku biraro, tugenda dusubira inyuma mu ruzi rwa San Joaquin, dukurura ubwato bwacu mu bwato bwa Moore inzoga zikonje na burger, hamwe na Kos pirate aho sitasiyo ya lisansi ihambiriye ku bwato, kandi amagana ya egret na crane bitandukanya amashami yigiti cyegereye.
Jet skis hamwe nubwato bwihuta, akenshi bikurikirana amazi yumurizo hamwe nibijumba, ni ibintu bisanzwe, hamwe na tanki nini nini ya peteroli nini nini yinjira muri Stockton.
Ibi ntaho bitandukaniye nurugendo urwo arirwo rwose twe cyangwa Saltbreaker twigeze gukora.Mu gihe cyo kwambuka inyanja, amato akunda guhora ahindagurika bitewe numuraba uhindagurika. Kugenda mukigobe cya San Francisco bitanga umunyu mwinshi wumuyaga n'umuyaga hamwe numuraba wera. Hano, amazi ahanini aringaniye, umwuka ushyushye ni choppy, kandi ikirere gifite impumuro nziza, yubutaka bwikibabi.Mu gihe turi kure yubwato bwonyine bwikibuga, turenza skisi yindege hamwe nubwato bwihuta hamwe na moteri ikomeye yo hanze - tunyura mubice byoroshye imigezi ikomeye mugihe wirinze kugabanuka kumato utwarwa numuyaga kandi ntibyoroshye.
Muri Gicurasi, ibyumweru nyuma yo kurasa kwacu kwa kabiri, nta gisobanuro cya kabiri giteye impungenge kuri "delta", kandi twishimiye ko twabonye amahirwe yo gushakisha ku butaka.

Urebye ahazaza.Nk'uko guverinoma zo ku isi zorohereza imipaka ya coronavirus, inganda z’ingendo zirizera ko uyu mwaka uzaba umwaka wo gukira inganda z’ingendo. Dore ibyo dutegereje:
Ingendo zo mu kirere. Biteganijwe ko abagenzi benshi baguruka ugereranije numwaka ushize, ariko uracyakeneye kugenzura ibyangombwa byinjira niba ugenda mumahanga.
guma.Mu gihe cyicyorezo, abagenzi benshi bavumbuye ibanga amazu akodeshwa atanga.Amahoteri arashaka kongera guhatanira gutanga imitungo yagutse-yo kugumaho, amahitamo arambye, utubari two hejuru hamwe n’aho bakorera.
Gukodesha imodoka. Abagenzi barashobora kwitega ibiciro biri hejuru hamwe na kilometero ndende yimodoka zishaje, kuko ibigo bitagishoboye kwagura amato yabo. Gushakisha ubundi buryo? Urubuga rwo kugabana imodoka rushobora kuba amahitamo meza.
ubwato butwara abagenzi.Nubwo itangira ryumwaka kugeza umwaka, ibyifuzo byubwato bugenda bikomeza kuba byinshi kubera ubwiyongere bwa Omicron. Ingendo zurugendo rwiza zirashimishije cyane kurubu kuko mubisanzwe zigenda mumato mato kandi zikirinda abantu benshi.

Mugihe kiruhura cyane, resitora zimwe na zimwe muri Amerika zirimo gukora moderi hafi ya zose zirimo gufata tekereza kubikorwa byo gutegura ikiruhuko cyawe.
uburambe. Amahitamo yingendo yibanda kubuzima (tekereza umwiherero wabashakanye ninama zamazi hamwe nabatoza ba hafi) bigenda byamamara.Mu gihe kimwe, ingendo zishingiye ku burezi zirashakishwa cyane nimiryango ifite abana.

Nyuma yo kutamenya neza umwaka ushize nigice, garanti yonyine nuko ibintu bizakomeza guhinduka.Nuko rero iyo bigeze ku cyorezo, ingendo, kandi yego, kuri Delta, ahari inzira nziza yo gutera imbere nukugira intego igenda. Kuberako mugihe delta ari ahantu hihariye ukurikije ubwiza bwayo, imiterere, nakamaro gakomeye kubwinyungu za Californiya, nkibintu byinshi byo muburengerazuba, nabwo bihuriza hamwe amahitamo abantu bagomba guhitamo uko iterabwoba ry’imihindagurikire y’ikirere ryiyongera.Mu buryo bwo kuzamuka kwinyanja, imvura yo mu turere dushyuha yangiza cyangwa ubushyuhe bwiyongera. Delta, kimwe n’ahandi hose muri Californiya, iragenda igira ibyago byo gutwikwa n’umuriro ndetse n’ubuziranenge bw’ikirere.

“Delta ni sisitemu itandukanye cyane no mu myaka 150 ishize, cyangwa no mu myaka 50 ishize.Ihora ihinduka, "yagize ati:" Ubu turi mu bihe by'agateganyo, kandi abantu bakeneye kumenya icyo bashaka ko sisitemu imera. "
Ibishoboka kubyo bisa nkaho bitagira iherezo, guhera kugerageza kubungabunga uko bishoboka kwose kugeza ibidukikije byangiza ibidukikije byamazi meza n'ibishanga.Buriwese arashaka gukiza Delta, ariko niyihe verisiyo ya Delta ikwiye kuzigama? Ninde ubikora? Delta Air Line ikora neza?
Kujya muri delta ni inzozi mbi;gusohoka mu nyanja ni umutwe. Mu mpeshyi twakodesheje ubwato kuri Owl Harbour Marina ku kirwa cya Twichel (birashoboka ko mu myaka mirongo iri imbere y'amazi, nk'uko Dr Moyle abivuga) .Twicaye mu kabati k'ubwato bwacu kuri a ijoro ryo kuwa gatanu rishyushye muri Nyakanga nyuma yicyumweru hejuru y'amazi, izuba rirenze, umuyaga uhuha kandi ikirere cyari icunga;uwo munsi ubushyuhe bwari dogere 110, kandi bukeye buzaba bushyushye.Twabonye akayunguruzo kababajwe no kuba hafi yicyari cyabo, cyubatswe munsi yizuba ryubwato bwacu kandi cyari mu kaga.Inyoni zisa nkaho gutongana inzira nziza.
Twatekereje tuti: "Mbega ahantu hateye akaga," twaganiriye ku bishoboka ko amagi yabo yatera mbere yuko dufata ubwato, twizeye ko bazabikora, nubwo bahisemo urugo.
Mugihe twagarutse nyuma y'ibyumweru bike, ubushyuhe bwari bwaragabanutse, ibyari byari ubusa, kandi abamira barashize.Twafashe ubwato nitonze tuvuye mu bice bigufi, twirinda shoals hamwe n’inyanja, twahise tumara igihe kirekire twataye igice gikikijwe na hyacints y'amazi, hanyuma natwe turabikora.
