	Hetch Hetchy Valley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hetch Hetchy Valley is a glacial valley in Yosemite National Park in California.
		Like Yosemite Valley, Hetch Hetchy was also sculpted by glaciers as recent as 10,000 years ago.
		On the upper portion of the valley beyond the reservoir there is evidence of relatively young lava flows.

	History - Hetch Hetchy - Sierra Club
		In 1901, the John Muir led the Sierra Club in a campaign to protect the Hetch Hetchy Valley, a part of Yosemite National Park, from being filled by a reservoir.
		The battle for Hetch Hetchy was perhaps the first effort at what is now known as "grassroots lobbying," getting individual citizens to contact elected officials in support of or opposition to legislation.

	Hetch Hetchy Reservoir
		Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, a source of drinking water for San Francisco, is also home to spectacular scenery and is the starting point for many less-used back-country trails.
		Hetch Hetchy Reservoir is located 40 miles from Yosemite Valley via Highway 120 and Evergreen and Hetch Hetchy Roads.
		Although the road to Hetch Hetchy is open year-round, it may close periodically due to snow in winter and spring.

	Hetch Hetchy
		Hetch Hetchy Reservoir (Wilderness Press 15-Minute Map Series) - I generally don't like 15-minute maps, but if you use one for hiking, these are a good bet.
		Hetch Hetchy Reservoir was formed in the early 1900's, after the City of San Francisco constructed O'Shaugnessy dam across Hetch Hetchy Valley and connected it to San Francisco via an aqueduct.
		Yosemite and Hetch Hetchy Valleys were borne of similar geologic circumstance, in the flat, sediment-filled zones near the terminus of the glaciers descending the Merced and Tuolumne River watersheds, respectively.

	Yosemity's Hetch Hetchy Reservoir - Trails Section - Clovis Free Press
		It soon was obvious what I had spotted: Hetch Hetchy, the reservoir that supplies drinking water to the San Francisco Bay Area.
		Hetch Hetchy Valley seemed perfect: High granite walls form a narrow canyon, and dam builders needed to span a gap of less than 1,000 feet to create a reservoir eight miles long, covering 1,861 acres and measuring nearly 370 feet deep.
		Because the reservoir is used for drinking water, the park bans motorboats, Jet Skis and even swimmers and rowboats.

	Kennedy/Jenks Consultants - Water Services - Bypassing Water Quality Problems (San Francisco, CA)
		The 70-year-old Hetch Hetchy pipeline begins at the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir in the Sierra Nevada, 160 miles east of San Francisco, where pristine snowmelt from the Sierra Nevada courses downhill by gravity flow through the Sierra foothills and the Central Valley to the San Francisco Bay Area.
		The main purpose of the Priest Reservoir Bypass Project is to maintain the quality of the water delivered from the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir to water users in the San Francisco Bay Area.
		SFPUC did not want the reservoir closed down for any longer than was necessary, because the peak times for power generation at the Moccasin Power Station occur in the winter and spring months when rainfall and snowmelt are at their peak.

	Hetch Hetchy: Time to Redeem a Historic Mistake - Sierra Club
		Mention Hetch Hetchy Valley to long-time Sierra Club members and their response is immediate: a heartfelt feeling of deep sadness for what has been lost, and a fervent hope that what has been lost can somehow be regained.
		Hetch Hetchy Valley, in the Grand Canyon of the Tuolulmne River, should be restored to its natural condition in order to allow "one of nature's rarest and most precious mountain temples" to be available for public enjoyment, to be reintegrated into its natural ecological and biological systems, and to provide for scientific exploration.
		In addition, Hetch Hetchy Valley should be restored in order to preserve the integrity and inviolate status of our National Parks.

		"Hetch Hetchy water is the purest and the only available source of supply for San Francisco." It is not the purest, because it drains a pleasure ground visited by hundreds of campers with their animals every season, and soon these hundreds will be thousands.
		As a matter of fact, the use of Hetch Hetchy Valley for a municipal water supply is absolutely inconsistent with its rightful use as a national park.
