  • A Cultural and Natural History of the San Pablo Creek Watershed
    A Cultural and Natural History of the San Pablo Creek Watershed by Lisa Owens-Viani Prepared by The Watershed Project (previously known as the Aquatic Outreach Institute) Note: This booklet focuses on the watershed from the San Pablo Dam and reservoir westward (downstream). For a history of the Orinda area, see Muir Sorrick's The History of Orinda, published by the Orinda Library Board in 1970. Orinda also has an active creek stewardship group, the Friends of Orinda Creeks, which has conducted several watershed outreach efforts in local schools (see www.ci.orinda.ca.us/orindaway.htm). This booklet was written as part of the Aquatic Outreach Institute's efforts to develop stewardship of the mid- to lower watershed. The San Pablo Creek watershed is a wealthy one-rich in history, culture, and natural resources. The early native American inhabitants of the watershed drank from this deep and powerful creek and caught the steelhead that swam in its waters. They ate the tubers and roots of the plants that grew in the fertile soils deposited by the creek, and buried their artifacts, the shells and bones of the creatures they ate, and even their own dead along its banks. Later, European settlers grew fruit, grain, and vegetables in the same rich soils and watered cattle in the creek. Even today, residents of the San Pablo Creek watershed rely on the creek, perhaps unknowingly: its waters quench the thirst and meet the household needs of about 10 percent of the East Bay Municipal Utility District's customers. Some residents rely on the creek in another way, though-as a reminder that something wild and self-sufficient flows through their midst, offering respite from the surrounding urbanized landscape.

  • Watershed Program Study for Department of Conservation
    Wading through the Watershed Program: An Assessment of the CalFed Statewide Watershed Program (2000-2014) January 28, 2019 Lauren Miller Kaily Bourg Jonathan Kusel Jeff Borchers Produced with support from the Department of Conservation Acknowledgements This assessment of the CalFed Statewide Watershed Program (2000-2014) is made possible by support from the California Department of Conservation (DOC). This research has benefitted greatly from contributions from a former Sierra Institute research assistant, John Owen, as well as the feedback and assistance provided by our advisory committee- Liz Mansfield, Lynn Rodriguez, Todd Sloat, and Martha Davis. A special thanks to Lauren Burton and Valerie Hurst for their mapping work. We particularly appreciate the staff at DOC for taking an active interest in this research, especially David Bunn and Bruce Gwynne, and John Lowrie for his commitment to launching the study. The entire research team extends our deepest appreciation to the many people across the state who took the time and energy to participate in this study and provide feedback on case study reports. Without your knowledge, experience, and willingness to engage, this research would not have been possible. Preface California’s watersheds and their ecosystems provide vital clean water, abundant timber resources, habitat for thousands of species, and scenic beauty for all to enjoy. These natural systems of forests, snowpack, lakes, rivers, meadows, and groundwater store and deliver critical water supplies throughout the state. Between 2000-2014, California funded local organizations to hire watershed coordinators as part of a strategy to facilitate collaborative efforts of multiple state, federal and local agencies, nonprofit organizations, and business to provide better conservation stewardship of forests and fresh waters of the state.
