Subsidence and Carbon Fluxes in the Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta U.S. Department of the Interior Subsidence and Carbon Fluxes in Subsidence U.S. Geological Survey the Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta, Fact Sheet California INTRODUCTION The Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta was once tidal marshland and was formed by the confluence of the Sacramento and the San Joaquin Rivers. The delta covers more than 1,000 square miles and is bor­ dered by the major population centers of the San Francisco Bay area, Sacramento, and Stockton (fig. 1). The delta took its current form by the 1930's when drainage of 100 islands and tracts and construction of 2,250 miles of levees were completed. The land surface on the delta islands has progressively subsided below sea lev­ el since the early 20th century. The integ­ rity of the levee network is threatened be­ cause subsidence increases the differences in water levels maintained by the levees, which can cause levee failure and conse­ quent flooding of the delta islands. Levee failure affects the quality and beneficial use of water in the delta, which is the major source of California' s water supply to millions of residents and acres of agri- 38°00' cultural land. This Fact Sheet briefly sum- marizes the research done by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the California Department of Water Re­ sources, to assess the causes of subsi­ dence, processes that affect subsidence, and carbon fluxes in the delta. 10 MILES STUDY OBJECTIVE AND 10 KILOMETER S APPROACH Results of the initial phase of the study demonstrated the small influence of withdrawals of ground water and natural gas on subsidence on the delta islands. Subsequent investigations were directed toward understanding variations of subsi­ dence in space and time by assessing the historical leveling surveys and land sur­ face elevation changes relative to expo­ sure of electrical transmission tower foun­ Figure 1.

This region lies at the very heart of California’s water policy debates, transporting vast flows of water from northern and eastern California to farming and population centers in the western and southern parts of the state. This critical water supply system is threatened by the likelihood that a large earthquake or other natural disaster could inflict catastrophic damage on its fragile levees, sending salt water toward the pumps at its southern edge. In another area of concern, water exports are currently under restriction while regulators and the courts seek to improve conditions for imperiled native fish. Leading policy proposals to address these issues include improvements in land and water management to benefit native species, and the development of a “dual conveyance” system for water exports, in which a new seismically resistant canal or tunnel would convey a portion of water supplies under or around the Delta instead of through the Delta’s channels. This focus on the Delta has caused considerable concern within the Delta itself, where residents and local governments have worried that changes in water supply and environmental management could harm the region’s economy and residents.

Summary “Once a landscape has been established, its origins are repressed from memory. It takes on the appearance of an ‘object’ which has been there, outside us, from the start.” Karatani Kojin (1993), Origins of Japanese Literature The Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta is the hub of California’s water supply system and the home of numerous native fish species, five of which already are listed as threatened or endangered. The recent rapid decline of populations of many of these fish species has been followed by court rulings restricting water exports from the Delta, focusing public and political attention on one of California’s most important and iconic water controversies.

The panel concluded that there was insufficient data on many important factors and contaminant sources that could affect water quality. Some of these factors include tidal action and riverflows, agricultural drainages, pesticide use, waste water discharges, and water movement within the Delta. The panel recommended a program to develop a comprehensive analytical model that would incorporate and analyze these factors. In April 1983, the Interagency Delta Health Aspects Monitoring Program was initiated in response to the panel's recommendation.

  • 2. the Legacies of Delta History
    2. TheLegaciesofDeltaHistory “You could not step twice into the same river; for other waters are ever flowing on to you.” Heraclitus (540 BC–480 BC) The modern history of the Delta reveals profound geologic and social changes that began with European settlement in the mid-19th century. After 1800, the Delta evolved from a fishing, hunting, and foraging site for Native Americans (primarily Miwok and Wintun tribes), to a transportation network for explorers and settlers, to a major agrarian resource for California, and finally to the hub of the water supply system for San Joaquin Valley agriculture and Southern California cities. Central to these transformations was the conversion of vast areas of tidal wetlands into islands of farmland surrounded by levees. Much like the history of the Florida Everglades (Grunwald, 2006), each transformation was made without the benefit of knowing future needs and uses; collectively these changes have brought the Delta to its current state. Pre-European Delta: Fluctuating Salinity and Lands As originally found by European explorers, nearly 60 percent of the Delta was submerged by daily tides, and spring tides could submerge it entirely.1 Large areas were also subject to seasonal river flooding. Although most of the Delta was a tidal wetland, the water within the interior remained primarily fresh. However, early explorers reported evidence of saltwater intrusion during the summer months in some years (Jackson and Paterson, 1977). Dominant vegetation included tules—marsh plants that live in fresh and brackish water. On higher ground, including the numerous natural levees formed by silt deposits, plant life consisted of coarse grasses; willows; blackberry and wild rose thickets; and galleries of oak, sycamore, alder, walnut, and cottonwood.
