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 eventually will irrigate 52,000 acres of farmland around Manteca, Ripon, and Escalon and provide drinking water to the cities of Manteca, Tracy, and Lathrop plus in a few years Ripon as well. Beardsley releases water back into the Stanislaus to eventually flow into New Melones Reservoir.
