Document Description
KCWA has requested that DWR carry out flow rate tests in the Coastal Aqueduct SWP facilities in the year 2008 to evaluate suspected areas of restriction in flow. Such flow restrictions make it difficult to meet the instantaneous flow demands of the SWP contractors who receive water from the SWP during periods of peak demand. The data obtained from these flow tests will be used to develop alternatives for increasing the flow rates in future years.
