"Which allows floodwaters to spread during big storm events. That also allows recharge of the aquifer that connects to the water source for the 2 million people here in the South Bay," he explains. Restoration work is already started at two nearby waterways including Fisher Creek. Young volunteers helped replant the banks. Landgraf says the team hopes to ultimately restore their natural connection to the flood plain.
