Table 2. Targeted summer and winter water-surface elevations and summer salinities during the South Bay Salt Ponds Initial Stewardship Plan period for Alviso ponds A9–A17.
[The Initial Stewardship Plan does not include target water-surface elevations for ponds A12–A15 because they are operated as batch ponds to maintain high salinity. Data from Life Science! (2003). ft, feet; na, not applicable]
