Santa Clara Valley Water District, now known as Valley Water, is the primary water resources agency for Santa Clara County, California. It acts not only as the county's water wholesaler, but also as its flood protection agency and is the steward for its streams and creeks, underground aquifers and district-built reservoirs.

Great presentation in highlighting all the important parties, people and agencies involved. Keep up the great work everyone .
Amazing song

This concerns the Anderson Dam, Valley water is working to ensure Coyote Creek & Coyote percolation ponds in South San Jose CA have a healthy water supply. Next Week Rover Pipeline LLC v. 1.23 Acres of Land United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division March 1, 2019, Decided; March 1, 2019, Filed Case No. 17-10365
I remember watching Anderson Dam drain in 2017. Water shot out of the dam faster than cars on the highway, and hydraulic jumps downstream were upwards of 12 feet high. The ground was shaking below my feet! Although I knew this was ultimately for good reason (a dam failure of Anderson's size could take many lives and devastate our ecosystem), I was sad to see all that water wasted during the height of our drought. 7 years later and I am now a civil engineer who has studied the design of dams and tunnels like these. I am so excited to see this dam reach completion so we can retain the full 90.3 thousand-acre feet of water Anderson can hold!
This creek flows out of a state park and is so beautiful i cannot believe anyone would screw it up but it has been screwed up permanently, the middle portion in the park can only be reached on foot and is one of California's gems that should have been left natural from its headwaters to it's estuary draining into the pacific ocean, such a unique water system and breathtaking riparian habitat, so sad, i cannot imagine how the absence of anadromous fish species in the upper portions of this creek have changed the forest since anderson dam and others have been built, makes me wish i was an explorer several centuries ago.
Happy New Year!
Prevention is better than correction 😎 our Mayor Speaks Espanol
Wow, cool I bet the valley water girl sings! I wonder if she has a song about the coyote See ya no thiss yana Ho!
Amazing project!! Seems to be needed. I hope it all goes as planned so we will have our water dam back. :)
What a wonderful restoration!
Great project! So exciting to see the new seedlings!
It’s about time. REALLY happy to see this.
Very informative video! I really think a lot of people don't know or don't think twice about where the water runoff from streets actually flows to. If you wash your car in your driveway or strip the stain off your deck with nasty chemicals it'll all end up in a watershed near you.
Amazing!
Thanks!
While this is a noble effort, our waterways are not being cleared of vegetation and this is causing damage to levees, roads, bridges and other infrastructure when flooding occurs - this is all due to poor maintenance. Our tax dollars are only being used to clean up homeless encampment trash and not to protect property of tax-paying citizens
Thanks for sharing
Keep up the good work, thank you!
Terrible destructive and unaffordable project that would require the taking of private ranchland and inundate part of a state park and irreplaceable cultural resources.
Great to see this, thanks for posting it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
They can't maintain the reservoirs they currently have !!! Waste of money !
Love seeing this, we also took part in this program and love our low-maintenance and drought-resistant landscaping in Los Gatos.
Failure to manage waterfall is on the governor along with failure to manage forest undergrowth and crime. Keep voting for it!

Can you fish for trout here?
Thank you for sharing your beautiful, lush, native garden, John. I love hearing about all of the bees, butterflies and birds your garden supports. You and Agi are to be commended for all that you do, whether through education or garden design, to help people plant the plants that are saving the planet. Kudos!
What a beautiful and lush garden, filled with resilient native plants. I only learned recently that these California natives are the only plants that co-evolved with our native bees, butterflies, birds, etc. Baby birds can only eat insects (especially caterpillars) that feed on these native plants (think of monarchs and milkweed, then multiply it by the hundreds of other butterfly species). Kudos to you, Melanie, for creating this wonderful habitat, saving water and these critical species at the same time.
Melanie's garden is always a pleasure...and she is growing public garden nearby in Bol Park, Palo alto
We participated in this program and love our drought-resistant native yard. Great video, cheers from Los Gatos!
This is not a satisfactory presentation for your constituents. The sound is terrible. The graphics are worse. This makes your organization look very bad. I suggest you hire a professional, someone that makes your organization look competent.
Congratulations from Hungary ❤ we are so proud of you ❤
Currently the ponds are accessible via Ogier Rd. Do the alternatives consider continued access to the ponds as a requirement?
Hi there - All of the alternatives under consideration by Valley Water would provide public access to the ponds, but not necessarily via Ogier Avenue.
Great to see this moving forward! Audio difficult to hear on this recording, though.
zero comments cuz this is DUMB
Why are we still being sheepish about adding this to the drinking water supply? We're going to have another drought very soon. Just do it lol
technically its poop water thats being filtered and cleaned and people don't like the idea of drinking purified poop water
Hubris much?
Great to have all this wet weather, but it's not the time to loosen up on saving water as a way of life in CA--it's a nice savings bank to have full reservoirs now, and if we continue to conserve we can make the dry years less impactful.
Why does it need to be the way of life in CA? Because we'll be in a drought by end of summer? So, if even with reservoirs being full, we need to conserve like crazy? Sounds like the issue is not how much rain/snow we get. But, that we don't have enough water storage. Keep in mind, 4 year ago we record rains and reservoirs were over flowing. And, we had tight water restrictions in place then.
Still looking for the rate rollback announcement…did I miss it?
this may not happen, the guess is that we're going to have less and/or more expensive water over time, so people will continue to be incentivized to use less than we used to through higher rates. I suppose you could also verify if the money is going to to make some people richer or not. For what it's worth, we still have a bigger problem if deep aquifers that have been pumped for water heavy crops, and that take hundreds of years to refill, not one good year. Those are actually causing some ground collapses in some locations or sinkholes.
@@MarcMERLIN Agree. Unless the population decreasing substantially, our water demand keeps increasing. Even with crazy water restrictions. 4 years ago we have some of highest rains for some 80 years of records. Doesn't matter as you say if we need multiple years of rain saturating farm lands. But, also, if we can't store water year to year. We can't build the proper backlog of water.

This is great news for farmers, but beware. The snowpack in higher elevation hadn't begun to melt in January 2023. Watch for flooding.
*Promosm* 😎

Nice , covered latest summit 2023 video kzread.info/dash/bejne/e4F41ryHkbucfLw.html
That's osb..
We’re having good rains now but who knows what’s going to happen in a couple months. Save water people!
Fantasitci video and great work by Valley Water and the fisheries biologist team for recognizing our steelhead population and using up to date technology to monitor our populations' movement for strategic restoration. The presence of these beautiful fish is a biological indicator of the health of our watershed. Keep up the great work!
Great video- short, helpful, and to the point!
