Annual Review of Sustainable Water Supply
"The Integrated Planning section recently completed the 2013 Annual Review of Sustainable Water Supply for Zone 7. Among other things, it concludes that Zone 7 has sufficient water supplies to meet projected water demands over the next five years, with or without water conservation.
'However, Zone 7's long-term water supply is at risk and subject to a very uncertain future due to court rulings and biological opinions associated with the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, and climate change,' the report states. It was alluding to the fact that imports from the State Water Project make up more than 80 percent of Zone 7's existing supply, conveying Sierra snowmelt through the Delta to aqueducts delivering water to the Livermore-Amador Valley."
