Scumbria Re..Much of the northern San Andreas fault lies directly under Clear Lake Reservoir< Aren,t you talking about the Crystal Spring reservoir? San Andreas Lake (from which the fault takes its name) is a ``sag pond'' that naturally formed in the valley of the San Andreas fault. Strike slip faults are good places for lakes; the fault both creates a low spot to collect the water, and grinds up the rock underneath making an impermeable layer to hold the water in. Man has enlarged San Andreas lake with a dam, and created two additional lakes in the same valley, Upper and Lower Crystal Springs Reservoirs. The dam holding the reservoirs in place is under a bridge on highway 280 (but you might be distracted as you drive over it by the sight of the gleaming white ``dome home'', a spray-foam wonder visible from the same bridge on the other side). << Read on These lakes hold the water supply for the City of San Francisco. The water first comes via aqueduct from Hetch-Hetchy reservoir in the Sierra Nevada mountains (next to Yosemite, more than a hundred miles away to the East), then in a tunnel under the Southern part of San Francisco bay, in a tunnel up the San Francisco peninsula (passing along the base of the hills just West of Stanford University), and finally enters the reservoirs at the ``Water Temple''. The Water Temple is a local tourist attraction and favorite bicyclists' rest stop that you can visit by car (or on some weekends only by bike) on the West side of Canada (pronounced Canyada) road. <<< Please note that these reservoirs provide the drinking water for San Fran. What are the people in San Fran going to drink if you pump their water into the San andreas Fault? The question still stands, what water is available to pump water into the San andreas fault? In true loony democratic form, you think the people of San Fran will willingly die of thirst because of some idiotic theory. Isn't that even more loony than your send more money, that will stop the corruption. theory.
