It is incredible how little precipitation falls here. I thought it was low where I live at 15-16in/year. Very informative post.
ReplyDeleteHi Travis,
DeleteAccording to my water district (Fallbrook Public Utility District) "we receive virtually all our water from two sources: a 242-mile-long aqueduct that brings Colorado River water from Lake Havasu to Southern California, and another 444-mile-long aqueduct that carries water from the Feather River in northern California through the Delta to State Water Project contractors throughout the state. One percent of FPUD water comes from our Capra Well, when available." It is terrible that we must rely on aqueduct for water as I think the inherent risks cannot be overemphasized: earthquakes, sunken grounds, airborne debris and contaminants,...and the unthinkable, open surface for terrorist/chemical attacks.
