This photo shows were the American River (to the right) flows into the Sacramento River (to the left). The color difference is from soil erosion from strip mining stopped decades ago. The Sacramento River was as clear as the American River when Sac was founded, but now the River is as muddy as the Mississippi and is expected to remain so for the next hundred years or longer and some think it may never clear up.
