Broken Main Link

The link contained in footnote 1 is broken; it does not lead to anything other than a page asserting that the link isn't working correctly. Doug 13:43, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kesterson SLOUGH!

Can I make the suggestion that a wikipedia search link to this article under the name Kesterson Slough be added? I was in California and involved in California agriculture when the problem of selenium build up causing harm to migratory birds and other wildlife was discovered at Kesterson, and in the media and articles in agricultural publications at the time, the name back then was Kesterson Slough. I had a bit of time finding it today because I did a search under the name in current and popular use back then, no one called it Kesterson Reservoir. Thanks!
