Scumbria Re...How wide do you think the San Andreas fault is? It is two dimensional. How much volume does a plane have? What is your area of expertise? I can read, can you? 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. << If the pressure on the rock is so great that it grinds the rock and makes an impermiable layer, how are you going to get the water there in the first place? I know for a fact you must loosen up a slip bearing before you can get grease in. Same here. Secondly the article says 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''. If you want to dispute that the people of San Fran drink this water, then call these people and tell them their article is wrong, and have them correct it. In the meantime, I will believe that these guys know more than you do. You will also note that the water isn't local; it is piped in from the Hetch Ketchy resevoir. http://sepwww.stanford.edu/oldsep/joe/fault_images/BayAreaSanAndreasFault.html
