Revision as of 12:57, 1 April 2012

A watershed-related issue examined by the ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems class at CSUMB.

The City of Pacific Grove is located on the NW portion of the Monterey Peninsula. The city contains multiple watershed including the Greenwood Park Watershed which is highly urbanized producing large volumes of stormflow runoff which is discharged into the Monterey Bay ASBS. Approximately 43% of the watershed is covered by impervious surfaces and maintains an average slope of 8% which can result in minimal percolation of seasonal precipitation. Map by: Kirk Post
