Surface- and ground-water interactions in the Searsville Reservoir sediments
Originally intended as a drinking water reservoir, Searsville Lake has always been too turbid for that purpose, thanks to the high input of sediment from the largest of the lake's five tributaries, Corte Madera Creek. The lake is very efficient at storing the sediment delivered by Corte Madera Creek and has filled with sediment to roughly 90 percent of its original capacity.
Professor David Freyberg and his students are studying many aspects of the sedimentation of Searsville Lake, especially the interactions between surface-water and ground-water. These interactions are important in understanding a host of issues including the transport of pollutants in ground-water, the spatial patterning of vegetation types, and the seasonality of overflow from the dam to San Francisquito Creek.
A key tool in professor Freyberg's studies is the piezometer--a cased well installed to a depth at or below the water table and open over only a very short section of its ... Read More
