Rush Creek (Mono County, California)

Rush Creek is a 〔U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data. (The National Map ), accessed March 17, 2011〕 creek in California on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada, running east and then northeast to Mono Lake. Rush Creek is the largest stream in the Mono Basin, carrying 41% of the total runoff. It was extensively diverted by the Los Angeles Aqueduct system in the twentieth century until California Trout, Inc., the National Audubon Society, and the Mono Lake Committee sued Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) for continuous low flows in Rush Creek to maintain trout populations in good condition, which was ordered by the court in 1985.
==History==
On A. W. Schmidt's plat of 1857 it was called Lake Creek, possibly because it was the major stream flowing into Mono Lake. The Rush Creek place name appeared on the Hoffmann and Gardiner map of 1863-1867 and is one of the older place names on the eastern slope of the Sierra, although the origin of the Rush Creek name is unknown.〔 Between 1916 and 1925, three dams were constructed to enlarge natural lakes and flood meadows for hydropower, enlarging Waugh Lake, Gem Lake, and Agnew Lake. Grant Lake was previously enlarged by an irrigation dam, and by 1941 the current dam was enlarged and diversions of water from Grant Lake into the Los Angeles aqueduct began.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.monobasinresearch.org/timelines/streams.htm )
