Supply and Demand Assessment (SDA) – Salmon Creek Watershed
Overview
The Salmon Creek Watershed is located in Sonoma County and originates near the town of Occidental before draining into the Pacific Ocean. The total drainage area of the watershed is approximately 35 square miles and ranges in elevation from near sea level to 1,300 feet in the northernmost portion. The majority of the watershed is evergreen forest or shrubland. Salmon Creek is important habitat for native aquatic species and spawning ground for anadromous fish, especially steelhead trout. Increases in sediment levels and temperature have been linked to declines in salmonid populations over time.
