The South Bay Aqueduct is an aqueduct located in the eastern part of the San Francisco Bay Area. It conveys water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta through over forty miles of pipelines and canals. It begins in north-eastern Alameda County on the California Aqueduct's Bethany Reservoir serving as the forebay. The pumping pump has a capacity to pump 330 cubic feet per second (9 m³/s). The aqueduct flows along the eastern and southern edges of the Livermore Valley. Then it flows through a series of tunnels to in end in the foothills of eastern San Jose, 5 miles (8 km) from downtown San Jose, CA.
