San Diego Hydrogeology
About Us
We are a dedicated group of scientists who take pride in deciphering the largely unresearched geology and hydrology of the San Diego–Tijuana area of southern California, USA, and Northern Baja, Mexico. We collect and interpret high quality data, test our ideas with a variety of numerical models, and work closely with local water agencies. We are providing the necessary understanding to develop additional water resources, in particular groundwater from the San Diego Formation and related alluvial deposits.
