California Aqueduct

The California Aqueduct is a vast system of channels, pipelines, and reservoirs designed to transport water across California. It collects and directs water from Northern California, specifically the Sierra Nevada mountains, to the dryer regions in the south, including Los Angeles and San Diego. Established in the 1960s, the aqueduct is crucial for meeting the water demands of millions of residents, irrigating farms, and supporting local ecosystems. It is a key part of California's water management strategy, addressing the challenges of a variable climate and water scarcity in the state.
