The Sausal Creek Watershed extends from the Oakland hills to the San Francisco Bay. Three tributary creeks make up the upper watershed—Shephard Creek, Cobbledick Creek, and Palo Seco Creek.
The assessment of existing conditions in the Sausal Creek Watershed demonstrated that changing the volume and timing of stormwater entering the creek system could reduce the negative effects of urbanization on the aquatic and riparian systems.

A focused evaluation of several types of erosion sites was carried out in the Sausal Creek Watershed. Here erosion from a storm drain outlet is visible.
