    Abstract:
    Water levels in the Los Angeles Aqueduct in southern California fluctuate in a manner that is not easily attributable to normal aqueduct operations. Simple hydraulics suggests that large scale Earth tilt can register as water level anomalies with a sensitivity of about .01 ft/microradian. Two aqueduct anomalies which coincide spatially and temporally with independently observed deformational phenomena are used to explore this suggestion
