- W197686385 abstract "San Francisco, unlike many of the early settlements in California, was not located geographically primarily because of the existence in the vicinity of a visible water supply, but owes its position to its magnificent harbor. San Diego, Los Angeles, Monterey and other early Spanish settlements, were all located in close proximity to rivers. Aside from a few small creeks and springs, now obliterated by the development of the city, there are only two minor water sources within the city limits, one, Lobos Creek in the Presidio, now used to furnish water to the extent of 2 million gallons daily to the army units stationed there, and the second, Lake Merced, with a daily capacity of about 3^ million gallons. The average annual rainfall in the city is 22.4 inches, practically all of it occurring between the months of November and April, and the area for some distance around San Francisco Bay is designated climatologically as semi-arid. Situated at the extreme tip of a peninsula upon which a comparatively small quantity of water has been developed, and cut off by the bay from the nearest sources of magnitude, it has been necessary to go some distance to develop the present supply of 66 million gallons daily. More than two-thirds of the present development requires transportation of the water over 48 miles and the supply necessarily crosses the bay in submarine pipes. Future development of water supply by the municipality, which recently voted bonds to purchase the plant of the Spring Valley Water Company, will add 120 miles of transmission conduit, making the total distance fromHetchHetchy reservoir in the Sierra Nevada range to the city about 168 miles. Due to climatic conditions large storage is necessary and fortunately reservoir sites with a present developed capacity of 30 billion gallons, which can be increased, have been constructed by the Water Company within 12 miles of San Francisco, into which the water of the Hetch Hetchy development can be poured." @default.
