Since the 1970s per-capita domestic water use in California has declined so dramatically that new reservoirs aren't really needed for population centers. Example: EBMUD service area population grew 10% in the last 15 years but water deliveries fell 25%. The reservoirs and pipelines EBMUD already owns are sufficient for a population of 4 million but we only have 1.4 million residents.
