The State Water Project

The California State Water Project is the largest multipurpose, state-built water project in the US The SWP transports water from the feather river watershed to agriculture, and some of the water goes to industrial and urban users. More than two-thirds of Californians receive some water from the SWP. The system was designed and contracted to deliver 4,200,000 acre feet (5.2 km3), but in an average year delivers only 2,300,000 acre feet (2.8 km3) because many of the original planned features were never built. Twenty-nine agencies hold contracts for SWP water.

Wildfires are extremely common in inland California due to summers as hot as 38°C. Lots of water then has to be used to put out the fires.

What physical factors determine the supply of water in California?

# data[].attributes.body
There are high mountains (e.g. the Sierra Nevada, the Cascade Range and the Klamath mountains) on the west coast of California, meaning that the area to the east of these mountains is a rain shadow. Because of this, California's most arid regions are found to the east of the mountains in central California.
