Local News in Brief : Mono Lake Water Study
The Mono Lake Committee and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power have agreed to sponsor a study of alternatives to the city’s practice of diverting water from Sierra Nevada streams that supply Mono Lake.
The DWP will provide $25,000 to get the work started, with other funds to be raised privately by the Mono Lake Committee and the Environmental Defense Fund, which will actually conduct the study. The study’s purpose is to find “reasonable solutions” to the controversy over Los Angeles taking water from the lake, the committee announced.
