Recently, Good Magazine posted information about where Los Angeles gets its water. Not surprisingly, none of the cityâs water is locally sourced. A major source of its water is the Owens River-Tinemaha Reservoir, 133 miles away in Owens Valley. The water in the Owens River- Tinemaha Reservoir comes from the State Water Project, a 444 mile-long water system which begins in Northern California. Other sources of water for Los Angeles are the Haiwee Reservoir, 137 miles away in the Owens Valley, Lake Havasu (reservoir) 242 miles away in Arizona, and the Colorado River Aqueduct, 200 miles away.
EARLY WATER DEVELOPMENT The San Joaquin River Basin prior to 1850 was devoted largely to rain-fed grain and cattle production. Irrigation development began sporadically in the decade following the 1850s when individual farmers made diversions to lands lying immediately adjacent to the perennial eastside streams.ignificant production began on the western side of the valley in 1872 when the San Joaquin River was diverted through the Miller and Lux canal system west of Fresno near where the San Joaquin River turns north when it reaches the valley trough (DWR, 1965).
