Metropolitan Water District of Southern California

  A billion-and-a-half gallons of water a day don't arrive by accident. By the time water enters Metropolitan's distribution system in
the Southland, it has already traveled more miles than the average Orange County-to-Los Angeles commuter travels in a week.
Metropolitan imports its water from two sources—the Colorado River and the State Water Project. The SWP brings supplies south
from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, while the Colorado River Aqueduct moves water from the east. The CRA stretches 242 miles
across the desert and mountains; the SWP courses 444 miles through the central part of the state topping the Tehachapi Mountains
and flowing into the Southern California coastal plain.
