How does water travel from Northern California to Southern California.

Around two-thirds of California's water needs come from the south, which includes cities like Los Angeles. Two-thirds (or more) of the snow and rain in California fall north of San Francisco. The water flows from there through canals to the Central Valley farms and cities of Southern California.



This raises the question: Where does Northern California get its water?

Built in 1930s, the Colorado Aqueduct transports water from Colorado River to Southern California. It is operated by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, (MWD), and serves as the primary source of water for the region.

Second, from where does Southern California get its water most? Half of California's residents live in Southern California. They rely on the State Water Project, Colorado River Aqueduct, and Los Angeles Aqueduct for half of their water supply.

Afterwards, you might also wonder, "How is California's water transported?"

Water distribution. California has six major aqueduct systems and infrastructure that distribute and transport water: the State Water Project and the Central Valley Project. There are also several Colorado River delivery systems, including the Los Angeles Aqueduct, Tuolumne River/Hetch Hetchy system and the Mokelumne Aqueduct.

California water control: Who is responsible?

California Environmental Protection Agency Cal-EPA, which enforces pollution control laws in California, oversees six state entities, including the Air Resources Board and State Water Resources Control Board and the Integrated Waste Management Board.
