1. Marin Municipal Water District is a public agency that provides clean and healthy drinking water to 185,000 people in a 147 square mile area in Marin County.
2. MA and MMWD are connected because MMWD provides the water for Marin Academy!
3. I learned that this year has the lowest levels of rain in Marin since 1879. The entire rainy season has been very dry this year, and that has led to little contribution to the lakes that provide our drinking water. Although there is little that has been added, the water supplies are actually still above the usual levels.
Bonus Research Question: The reservoirs are still in good shape! There was a lot of rain last year, which meant that scientists do not fear that there will be a drought.
5. There are 7 reservoirs. 10 towns and cities plus unincorporated Marin receive MMWD water.
Nice! You did the bonus question! Do you think we are still in good shape, water wise, Marin and CA?
