Today (May 16), the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) released its Annual Operations Plan (AOP) for the Mono Basin’s 2025-2026 runoff year. The AOP sets forth how LADWP will manage water exports and stream releases in accordance with supply conditions, environmental priorities, and its amended water rights licenses. It is a critical tool for ensuring the City of Los Angeles continues to advance its environmental stewardship goals while meeting the water supply and storage needs of Los Angeles. … The 2025-2026 AOP projects an export of 16,000 acre-feet, subject to ongoing review and revision based on evolving supply conditions, amended water rights licenses requirements, precipitation forecasts, and storage availability. … The AOP also incorporates findings from the April 1 snow survey and Mono Lake elevation readings.
