(June 2, 1971). Parties 14 the to Northern California water will enter Southern California reservoirs by early December. In 20 years the system is to deliver two million gallons of water to Southern California every minute. The Tehachapi pumping plant will push two million acre feet of Northern California water over the Tehachapis every year -twice much as urban areas in the south now receive from the salinity-plagued Colorado River. An acre foot is a measurement representing the amount of water in an area one acre square and one foot deep.
The Colorado has been the metropolitan coastal region's principal supply, but eventually much of this will revert to Arizona under court order. The network of dams, aqueducts and other works has spawned political controversy since its inception. A Ralph Nader task force last August called the project possibly "the largest specialinterest boondoggle in history," contending it mainly would benefit industry, corporate farms and large landowners at the expense of taxpayers. Expected to cost $2.8 billion, the project, begun 20 years ago, ultimately will cost about $10 billion including interest. Water destined for Southern California comes from the Feather River headquarters about 100 miles north of the state capital of Sacramento.
Formerly this water flowed into the ocean. The northern keystone is 770-foothigh Oroville Dam, one of the world's largest, on the Feather River. By 1973 the system will consist of 21. dams with a capacity of storing 6.8 million acre feet of water. The water will flow to 120 cities and municipal water agencies in Southern California, insuring enough water there for well into the 21st century, state officials say.
The Edmonston pumping plant is regarded as an unprecedented engineering achievement -able. to lift more water a higher distance than any plant before it. From Edmonston the water will be carried across the mountains through 11-mile series of tunnels and pipelines.
