It's difficult to say who is on the "right" side of the discussion. Replenishment always sounds like a good idea, in that it helps the supply side of the economic equation and therefore makes water cheaper. But then if it's cheaper, people tend to waste it more. Hopefully, the right decision will be made for all Californians. We need our water.

Doesn't sound like they are in touch with reality though and future planning. I would hope that MWD would store any surplus water…California is a desert after all and heavily populated too.
