�� Bethany Reservoir

Bethany Reservoir is located 8 miles (13 km) northeast of Livermore, in the northeastern corner of Alameda County, California, USA. It is the northern most part of the California Aqueduct, and receives water pumped by the Banks Pumping Plant from Clifton Court Forebay, which in turn receives waters pumped from the San Joaquin-Sacramento River Delta. It serves as the forebay for the South Bay Pumping Plant that feeds the South Bay Aqueduct and the main branch of the California Aqueduct which flows south along the west side of the San Joaquin Valley approximately 60 miles (97 km) to the O'Neill Forebay at the San Luis Reservoir.
