    San Francisco Bay Hydrologic Region California’s Groundwater Santa Clara Valley Groundwater Basin Bulletin 118 Santa Clara Valley Groundwater Basin, East Bay Plain Subbasin • Groundwater Basin Number: 2-9.04 • County: Alameda, Contra Costa • Surface Area: 77,800 acres (122 square miles) Basin Boundaries & Hydrology The East Bay Plain Subbasin is a northwest trending alluvial plain bounded on the north by San Pablo Bay, on the east by the contact with Franciscan Basement rock, on the south by the Niles Cone Groundwater Basin. The East Bay Plain Basin extends beneath San Francisco Bay to the west. Numerous creeks including San Pablo Creek, Wildcat Creek, San Leandro Creek, and San Lorenzo Creek flow from the western slope of the Coast Ranges westward across the plain and into the San Francisco and San Pablo bays (CRWQCB 1999). Average precipitation in the subbasin ranges from about 17 inches in the southeast to greater than 25 inches along the eastern boundary, most of which occurs between the months of November and March. Hydrogeologic Information Water Bearing Formations The East Bay Plain subbasin aquifer system consists of unconsolidated sediments of Quaternary age. Deposits include the early Pleistocene Santa Clara Formation, the late Pleistocene Alameda Formation, the early Holocene Temescal Formation, and Artificial Fill. The cumulative thickness of the unconsolidated sediments is about 1,000 feet (CRWQCB 1999). The average specific yield of the basin was calculated to be about 6% (DWR 1994). Early Pleistocene Santa Clara Formation. The Santa Clara Formation consists of alluvial fan deposits inter-fingered with lake, swamp, river channel, and flood plain deposits.

  • Santa Clara Valley, California
    SANTA CLARA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA A case of arrested subsidence CALIFORNIA he Santa Clara Valley is part of a structural trough that ex- tends about 90 miles southeast from San Francisco. The northern third of the trough is occupied by the San Fran- San Francisco Bay T cisco Bay, the central third by the Santa Clara Valley, and the south- San Francisco ern third by the San Benito Valley. The northern Santa Clara Valley, roughly from Palo Alto to the Coyote Narrows (10 miles southeast of downtown San Jose), is now densely populated and known as Santa Clara Valley “Silicon Valley,” the birthplace of the global electronics industry. Palo Alto Alviso In the first half of this century, the Santa Clara Valley was intensively San Jose cultivated, mainly for fruit and vegetables. The extensive orchards, Coyote Narrows dominated by apricots, plums, cherries, and pears, led local boosters to dub the area a Garden of Eden or “The Valley of Heart’s Delight.” P In the post-World War II era (circa 1945–1970), rapid population a c i growth was associated with the transition from an agriculturally f i c based economy to an industrial and urban economy. The story of O land subsidence in the Santa Clara Valley is closely related to the c San Benito Valley e a changing land and water use and the importation of surface water to n support the growing urban population. 0 30 Miles 0 30 Kilometers San Jose and its surrounding communities sprawl across the Santa Clara Valley.
