- bob33212 5y agoNo, the plan doesn't expect every single water supply to go empty, and then have 100 years of water in storage tanks. But it does expect that there may be a very large drop in water coming in for years at a time.
- tony_cannistra 5y agoActually, it sort of does put water away in storage tanks. Groundwater replenishment is a huge part of how urban development projects "get away" with assuring 100+year supplies. In a way, this replenishment is sort of equivalent to putting water in a storage tank. Especially when the water comes from somewhere else, like the Colorado River.
