Westlands Water District proposes to pump groundwater from land near the California Aqueduct and convey it through the Aqueduct for withdrawal and use on the other land within the district. The source of the water would be a series of groundwater wells in three groups wihtin the district: the norther, central and southern groups. The proposed project would result in no more than 100,000 acre-feet of groundwater being pumped in the Aqueduct annually via several inlets on either side of the Aqueduct.
