Excerpt from Report of Kings River Water Master for the Period 1918-1930 As a prerequisite to consummation of a storage project, the first task before the committee was to settle and define existing rights.

Excerpt from Water Storage, Cache Creek, California After leaving the canyon the creek enters Capay Valley, in Yolo County, through which it winds for a distance of 28 miles, with a grade of feet to the mile. Capay Valley is 20 miles long and from 1 mile to 3 miles wide. It is hemmed in on all sides by hills, to the shelter of which is due its remarkable productiveness.

From Capay Valley the creek enters the greater Sacramento Valley and ows, with a slope of 4 to 6 feet to the mile, to Tule Basin, bordering Sacramento River. There its natural channel ceases, and its waters enter a canal which connects the sink with the Tule canal. The latter was built by the State of California in 1864 to drain Tule Basin. It empties into Big Lake in the extreme southeast corner of Yolo County, and from the lake its waters reach the Sacramento through a slough.
