Frequently asked questions
The riverbed is sand. How does a dry Salinas wet an Alisal crawl in January?
The water is under the sand. This river runs subsurface most of the year, and January raises that table into the alluvium. A crawl on the east side is sitting in the river whether the bed shows a trickle. Looking at the channel will miss the job under the floor.
The airport recorded a dry week. Why is the west-side siding still wet?
Because the marine layer is not rain. Monterey Bay fog condenses on cold west-side walls and tracks for days, and 1976 stucco has paper at grade that wicked it. The gauge records a dry month. The siding does not.
The riverbed is dry. Why is there a water table under the slab?
The river is underground. The Salinas runs subsurface along here, so the bed can look completely dry while a January table sits under Alisal slabs. What you can see of this river is the least reliable part of it.
