First off, the link has nothing to do with that stat. Here’s an actual link: http://www.inkstain.net/fleck/wp-content/uploads/MWD.png

If by Southern California, you mean the Metropolitan Water District service area, imported water makes up only 40 percent of the water supply and that’s going to decrease substantially in the coming years. See figure 1-8 http://mwdh2o.com/mwdh2o/pages/yourwater/RUWMP/RUWMP_2010.pdf

So in reality, urban Southern California gets only about 25 percent of its water from the Delta. And with cutbacks the past two years, far less than that.

Can Cal Watchdog please get an ombudsman?
