The San Joaquin [ ˌsæn wɑːˈkiːn ] is around 560 km after the Sacramento River, the second longest river in the US state of California . He pours in southeastern California, from the steep western slopes of the Sierra Nevada in the region around the city of Fresno in the San Joaquin Valley and then flows on to the northwest, where he eventually located in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta with the Sacramento united and flows across Carquinez Street into San Pablo Bay and San Francisco .
The San Joaquin and its tributaries Stanislaus River , Tuolumne River , Merced River , Calaveras River and Mokelumne River have a catchment area of approximately 83,000 km² in California's San Joaquin Valley .
swell
The San Joaquin has three sources. The southern tributary begins in Martha Lake ( 37 ° 5 ′ 39 ″ N , 118 ° 44 ′ 18 ″ W ) at an altitude of 3354 m. The middle tributary begins in Thousand Island Lake in the Ansel Adams Wilderness . The northern tributary begins in an unnamed lake ( 37 ° 43 ′ 33 ″ N , 119 ° 14 ′ 37 ″ W ) at an altitude of 3410 m. All three tributaries flow into Millerton Lake .
course
Coming from the Sierra Nevada , the San Joaquin flows westward into California's Central Valley in the Fresno region . Most of the tributaries meet the San Joaquin in this valley. From here the river flows northwest towards Stockton , although it branches into several tributaries before Stockton. In the confluence with the Sacramento River, the San Joaquin forms the Sacramento-San-Joaquin - Inland Delta .
muzzle
The San Joaquin River flows into the Sacramento River at Antioch . The Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta (an inland delta) is on the way into this estuary . The river branches into numerous estuary arms , the largest of which are the Old River and Middle Rivers .
