Readings of
Wetland In The City
In 1998,
Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation
District developed a wetlands based storm water treatment system
at Tyson Lagoon, a 14-acre site in Fremont. Tule Ponds are
three ponds connected by a channel and designed to filter water
as it flows from the urban watershed and drains into the ponds
and into Tyson Lagoon.
As a
result, this site is unique in having both a natural and
constructed wetland combined into a single ecosystem. The
site serves as a wildlife sanctuary to the many animals and
plants that reside in this area.
