California water has three sources:[1]
- Central Valley Project
- State Water Project based mostly on northern sources such as the Sierra Nevada mountains
- the Colorado River and the federal system based on that
- local reservoirs and streams
- groundwater such as wells
The state-based Sierra Nevada system supplies 30% of Southern California's water supply. The Colorado River supplies a substantial but smaller percentage, based on a federal system.
