August 2013 Members Meeting Presentation – “Creek And Watershed Mapping Project” by Janet Sowers
The presentation will be about the creek & watershed mapping project I (Janet Sowers) have been involved in since 1993. We now have 15 maps published by the Oakland Museum. Peri and Bill Frantz helped with one of them. We have now stitched the maps together, upgraded them, and put them into Google Earth, which makes it fun to zoom around your watershed. You can see the present day drainage network with its creeks, engineered channels, and underground storm drains, or you can switch to the historical dataset and see the creeks as they were in the 1800s. The Santa Clara Valley map is called WOW (Watching Our Watersheds) and can be downloaded from the Santa Clara Valley Water District website at http://www.valleywater.org/
