Flood Insurance?
Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program The passage of the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program in 2012 has made the community’s long term goals for protecting the future of the Santa Clara Valley possible, including: • Supplying safe, healthy water • Retrofitting dams and critical infrastructure for earthquakes • Reducing toxins, hazards and contaminants • Restoring wildlife habitat in our waterways • Providing natural flood protection Even though we are in a drought, flooding can happen. Santa Clara County has had several damaging floods over the years, Extreme dry conditions can harden the ground. Within the first few most notably in 1995 and 1997 along the Guadalupe River and 1998 days of heavy rain, the ground can deflect water into streams and along Coyote and San Francisquito creeks.

In this study, the hydro- and morphodynamic effects of two reconnection scenarios (single and double breaching) are in- vestigated based on preliminary simulations for a time scale of 5 ½ years using a two- dimensional Delft3D Flexible Mesh model. The simulation results demonstrate that both reconnection scenarios for Calabazas and San Tomás Aquino Creeks have a significant impact on the local hydro- and morphodynamics. In particular the downstream flow velocities during high river discharge events greatly increase once the creeks are reconnected to Pond A8. This can be especially observed in the double breaching scenario. The larger flow velocities in the reconnection scenarios are directly linked to an increase in the sediment transport capacity in both creeks, which in turn causes more erosion/less deposition indicating an increase in the sediment export (particularly in case of the double breaching).
