摘要
Population growth and semiarid climate limit water availability in southern California. Several water transfers have been and are being made with the aim of supplying Los Angeles metropolitan region. Seawater desalination and sewage reuse contribute to the sources of water supply in Los Angeles regions and neighboring regions of Southern California. This article surveys water supply in Southern California and summarizes current trends of water use and supply.
