Frequently asked questions
Twenty inches of precipitation. Why is groundwater an issue?
Because most of the water arrives from above the valley rather than onto it. Snowpack at elevation releases over several weeks and lifts the water table across the floor, so a basement can take water in a month with almost no local rainfall recorded.
What is an alluvial fan and why does it matter?
The spreading deposit a stream builds where it leaves a mountain front, made of exactly the material that water has carried down over time. Building on one means building on an active drainage path — the surface looks like ordinary ground, but the routes are still there beneath it.
The basement is wet in July with no rain. Explanation?
Often irrigation. Ditches run water through this valley from spring into autumn on a farming schedule, and that raises the water table regardless of weather. The timing follows the irrigation season rather than the forecast, which makes it look inexplicable at first.
