Save the Moke!

The key word is needless. EBMUD does not need to drown more of the Moke to get water. There are a host of other real-world solutions.

The threatened river is loved by many for its beauty, for its beginning kayak runs and year-round angling. It is very regrettable that EBMUD is cultivating the fear of future water shortages directly into needless river destruction, we need your support so that we can ensure the voice of the river is heard.

The Last Descent - Kayaking for the last time...

The Last Descent Join a group of whitewater kayakers on their journey to some of the world’s most amazing rivers ... descending them possibly for the last time. Nepal's Marsyangdi River, Uganda's White Nile and India's Brahmaputra River all are threatened or are in the process of being destroyed by large-scale hydroelectric projects. The award winning film documents the struggle of indiginous people, the destruction of the environment and local economies while finding world class whitewater. The film closes with the movement to restore Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park.
