San Fernando Valley Projects

You may not be able to tell from looking at it, but The San Fernando Valley is one of the most water-rich areas of the LA Basin, and the birthplace of the Los Angeles River. Underneath the floor of the Valley sits a huge aquifer, historically the source of much of LA's water. The River begins now at the confluence of Bell and Calabasas Creeks in Canoga Park. It flows westward through the Sepulveda Basin, meeting up with the Tujunga Wash in Studio City, before turning southward at the eastern edge of Griffith Park. Other tributaries to the Los Angeles River in the Valley are Santa Susana, Browns, Dayton, Chatsworth, Limekiln, Wilbur, Aliso, Bull, Haskell, Woodley, Pacoima and Burbank creeks.

There are many watershed management projects being undertaken in the Valley, both by The River Project and other groups. We are currently working a comprehensive study of the Tujunga Wash subwatershed, an effort to remove remnant concrete along the river in Sepulveda Basin, and several LA River Greenway projects in Studio City.
