Join us on Thursday, June 15th at 7PM for a fascinating presentation and discussion with Bill Hirt.
Mount Shasta dominates the hydrology of the region.
Much of the water that falls onto the mountain percolates downwards emerging from springs near its base, months to decades later. These springs, as well as modest surface runoff, feed the flows of the Shasta, Sacramento, and McCloud Rivers.
In addition to surface streams, water from Mount Shasta also recharges local aquifers and soil moisture. To ensure that local groundwater is not over-drafted, which would adversely affect both spring flows and well levels, hydrologists monitor the inputs to and outputs from the Mount Shasta hydrologic system.
This data is now being used to calibrate a regional groundwater model that will enable us to predict how the system will respond to annual variations in temperature and precipitation as well as the long-term effects of climate change.
Bill is an emeritus geology instructor at the College of the Siskiyous.
