'The water is not there,” a Metropolitan Water District spokesperson Kimitch said. “This is unprecedented territory.'
FILE - A small stream runs through the dried, cracked earth of a former wetland near Tulelake, Calif., on June 9, 2021. Southern California's gigantic water supplier has taken the unprecedented step of requiring some 6 million people to cut their outdoor watering to one day a week as drought continues to plague the state.
The Metropolitan Water District uses water from the Colorado River and the State Water Project to supply 26 public water agencies that provide water to 19 million people, or 40% of the state’s population. January, February and March of this year were the driest three months in recorded state history in terms of rainfall and snowfall, Kimitch said.
