San Felipe Fan Restoration
Project Overview
Basics
San Felipe Fan Restoration
Planning/Design
The San Felipe Fan is an area of exposed lakebed where the San Felipe Creek flows into the Salton Sea. The project design concept at this location involves the spreading of inflowing water to enhance the growth of native vegetation. Initial conceptual designs involve construction of lateral ditches perpendicular to the creek and along the contours so that stormwater can be retained in the ditches and infiltrated into the soil for vegetation uptake. The water withdrawal using stormwater flooding will need to be designed to minimize impacts to the habitat for the endangered desert pupfish in San Felipe Creek.
