"DWP managers said they have questions and want to vet the UCLA analysis, emphasizing that Mono Lake's levels are more dependent on precipitation, evaporation and runoff."
California water officials are reassessing Mono Lake's recovery, which has not met mandated levels since a 1994 decision. A UCLA study indicates that L.A.'s water exports are a major factor, keeping the lake about 4 feet lower than required. The study suggests that stopping these exports could double the chances of the lake reaching its target level in 20 years. While climate change also affects the lake's levels, L.A. water managers question the findings, emphasizing the importance of precipitation and evaporation.
