BLOG: New Study: WaterFix Is Unnecessary For SoCal’s Water Supply

Last week, my colleague published a report entitled Mismatched: A Comparison of Future Water Supply and Demand for the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and Its Member Agencies. The report compares the 2015 Urban Water Management Plans prepared by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) and its member agencies. It documents that in average water years, MWD’s plan assumes that demand for imported water is hundreds of thousands of acre feet higher than the local agencies’ plans.
