derground streams in Southern Cal
ifornia, depend upon rainfall within
their territory and do not come from
distant sources, according to geo.
logical survey reports The reports
say that the important subterannean
basins in Southern California are
supplied with water which falls upon
the immediate surface or flows
through the ground from tributary
streams. There have been theories
that waters from the distant Sierras,
or the Colorado river, or the Pacific
Ocean may, by underground cham
nels Or by seepage, reach the San
Gabriel valley Of the Pomona neigh
borhood.
Many Of the largest water systems
are dependent upon the subsidiary
plants to keep up their supplies,
during the summer and fall and In d
number Of places pumped or artesian
waters are the sole dependence Of
thriving communities. A conserva.
tive estimate Of the proportion ~
underground water now used during
the late summer periods after dry
winters, when the surface supply is
lowest and the pumps are busiest,
is as three or four to one.
