Snow Groundwater Rain What are California’s Major Sources of Water?

How do we Store and Move Water? 1,400 Dams in CA 1,300 Reserviors in CA Thousands of miles of canals, aqueducts, and pipes.

What is the Source of Water for The San Francisco Bay Area?

The Hetch Hetchy (1934) delivers 80% of urban water for the San Francisco bay area. The Hetch Hetchy system consists of 11 reservoirs, that generates over 2 billion kilowatt hours per year of hydropower.

What is the Source of Water for The Central Valley? Major Source is snowmelt that is stored in reservoirs and transported via canal.

1.One of the largest lakes west of Mississippi (approx. 650 sq. miles.). 2.73,000 fish exported to San Francisco in a 3 month period 3.About 30 minute drive from Clovis West. Where did Tulare Lake go?

Kern River Lake Isabella Isabella Dam (1953) Tule River Lake Success Success Dam (1961) Kaweah River Lake Kaweah Terminus Dam (1962) Kings River Pine Flat Lake Pine Flat Dam (1954)

Friant Dam (1942) In 1948, California Fish and Game biologist George Warner tried in vain to save the last of the San Joaquin River's salmon Approx. 60 miles of river went dry Chinook Salmon migration ended Delta Mendota Canal (1951) purpose is to replace the water in the San Joaquin River that is diverted into Madera Canal and Friant-Kern Canal at Friant Dam

What is the Source of Fresno Drinking Water?

80% Groundwater and 20% Surface Water from San Joaquin/Kings Rivers Surface Water Treatment Plant – By Clovis North High School Ponding Basin = groundwater recharge

The California State Water Project – 1960’s To distribute and store water to Northern California, the San Francisco Bay Area, the San Joaquin Valley, the Central Coast, and Southern California. Of the contracted water supply, 70 percent goes to urban users and 30 percent goes to agricultural users. The Project makes deliveries to two-thirds of California's population.
