Description: The Bay Model in Sausalito, California, is a large-scale hydraulic model of the San Francisco Bay and Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, it was constructed in the 1950s to simulate tidal and riverine flow patterns, aiding in the study of water management, environmental changes, and the impact of human activities on the bay's ecosystem. Spanning nearly 1.5 acres, the model provides a detailed, physical representation of the bay's complex waterways, offering valuable insights for scientists, engineers, and policymakers. Today, it also serves as an educational facility, attracting visitors interested in the region's hydrology and environmental stewardship.
