[quote=svelte][quote=UCGal]San Diego county only gets 5% of its water from the California water project (aqueducts from Oroville). [/quote]
The aqueduct does not actually go to Oroville Dam.
It starts at the San Joaquin Delta, the Clifton Court Forebay actually.
You could argue that the water in the delta came from the water behind Oroville Dam, but at that point water from Oroville has been mixed with water from rivers as well.[/quote]
You are correct.
That’s where the twin tunnels come in… (Proposed and being supported by such disparate groups as the big ag farmers in the San Joaquin valley and the Sierra Club – two groups that have probably NEVER been on the same side before.)
