South Bay Aqueduct

The South Bay Aqueduct is a water delivery system that transports water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to southern California communities. It consists of pipelines, canals, and pumping stations that move water over long distances, supporting agricultural, industrial, and residential needs. Managed by the San Diego County Water Authority, it helps ensure a reliable water supply for the region, especially during dry periods or droughts, by connecting northern water sources to the south's demand.
