Path: The Central Valley Path: The 3.5 MAF Lake Path: Water enters the IID Path: The Colorado River Path: From , water Path: The aqueduct begins at Path: The system begins at Project does not consist of Oroville reservoir is the system at Imperial Dam; from Aqueduct begins at the flows through tunnels down Pardee Reservoir, travels O’Shaughnessy Dam, located contiguous facilities; it is starting point for the SWP there it travels 80 miles to a Whitsett Pumping Plant, to Crowley Lake; from there southwest for 95 miles on the in instead divided into eight system; the water then travels point near Calexico. At the located on Lake Havasu, about water travels through the through the western foothills Yosemite National Park, divisions, some of which down the Feather River, joins point where the canal enters 2 miles above on to the intake for of the and then which forms Hetch Hetchy work in conjunction with with the the eastern Imperial Valley, a the Colorado River; from there the aqueduct; from there, the west across the Central Valley Reservoir; from there, the other divisions, while other and flows into the Delta. canal branches off to carry the aqueduct travels 242 miles water travels through cement- along the water travels 160 miles by divisions operate completely From the south Delta, it is water 123 miles to the to Lake Mathews near lined canals and pipelines to before crossing the gravity through a series of independently.
