Ground water was pumped heavily, leading to the Santa Clara valley being the first region recognized to be affected by land subsidence in the 1940s. [2] Between 1912 and 1966, artesian pressure levels dropped more than 200 feet (61 m).
To accomplish that, the Bureau of Reclamation and San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority are teaming on a second 10-foot dam raise that would create an additional 130,000 acre feet of storage.
Of the approximate 3,000,000 acre-feet (3.7 × 10 9 m 3) of water distributed, 2,500,000 acre-feet (3.1 × 10 9 m 3) is delivered to farms, 200,000 acre-feet (250,000,000 m 3) to urban areas, including Tracy and cities with in the Santa Clara Valley Water District, and 300,000 acre-feet (370,000,000 m 3) for wildlife refuges.
