Commentary: We’ve Come a Long Way in Slaking SoCal’s Thirst
From the Los Angeles Times, in a commentary by Jeffrey Kightlinger, general manager, Metropolitan Water District of Southern California:
“Given the record dry weather in recent months, it is quite possible that Southern California will receive very little water from Northern California this year. Major reservoirs in the north are far below their normal levels for this time of year, with the two largest at only one-third of capacity. The Southland’s other major source of imported water — the Colorado River — is in the midst of its longest dry cycle in recorded history, bringing the Southwest closer to its first-ever supply restrictions.”
