News release: Metropolitan validates water reliability for Southern California with new urban water management plan
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California has demonstrated its ability to meet expected water demands in the region for the next quarter century, even under drought conditions, in a long-term management plan approved Tuesday by its board of directors. Metropolitan’s Urban Water Management Plan provides a summary of the agency’s anticipated water demands and supplies through 2045, and shows the district will meet demands under normal water years, single dry-years, and five-year drought sequences.
