  • 1) Natural sources of TDS to groundwater in the San Francisco Bay study unit (Marina, Lobos, Downtown, Islais Valley, South San Francisco, Visitacion Valley, Westside, and the Santa Clara Valley groundwater basins ) include saltwater intrusion from the Bay and interaction between recharge water and aquifer materials derived from marine or estuarine sediments. On the east side of the Bay, high and moderate concentrations of TDS were detected in areas with a history of intrusion of water from the Bay in response to pumping of freshwater from aquifers. Source: USGS 2) The two areas monitored for seawater intrusion (the Pacific Coast and the Bay Coast) contain a number of monitoring wells completed in the various aquifers present in the Westside Basin. The two sets of wells are known as the coastal and Bay side monitoring networks. Groundwater head in the Westside Basin is monitored in a network of production and monitoring wells as part of the semi-annual monitoring program that was initiated throughout the Basin in 2000. (Doesn’t say if they’re operating the wells differently in response to seawater intrusion). Using surface water–remediated. – SFArea-SeaWaterIntrusionSFArea-Task 10.pdf
