Water levels in the Los Angeles Aqueduct in southern California fluctuate in a manner that are 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 anamalies which coincide spatially and temporally with independently observed deformational phenomena are used to explore this suggestion.
