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.
The water district earlier this month approved spending up to $71 million to buy water from nine districts in the Sacramento Valley. An acre-foot of water is almost 326,000 gallons of water, enough for two Southern California households for a year. The offer is a hard one to turn down for farmers like Tennis, who also sits on the Western Canal Water District Board. Farmers can make around $900 an acre, after costs, growing rice, Tennis said.
