Monitoring of flow and water quality
San Francisquito Creek begins in JRBP at the confluence of Bear Creek and the outflow from Searsville Lake. It flows more than 12 miles to the Bay and is unchannelized for nearly half its length. Because San Francisquito's watershed spans roughly 45 square miles in northwestern Santa Clara County and southeastern San Mateo County, including much of Stanford University, many agencies and organizations interact in managing the creek. One joint effort, called the Long-Term Monitoring and Assessment Plan (LTMAP), is gathering baseline data on water quality in San Francisquito with the goal of reducing pollutant levels and better protecting aquatic and riparian habitat and biota.
The LTMAP includes two monitoring stations in JRBP operated by Balance Hydrologics, Inc. A flow-monitoring station is located at Searsville Dam, and a station on Bear Creek (just southeast of Sand Hill Road) continuously monitors streamflow and specific conductance. Specific conductance is the ability ... Read More
