Technically, maybe .. with the coming growth, any relief we have is temporary.

I always wondered about that perenially-low number. I read an article a while back that explained it: The 100% is mythical, based on the theortetical system capacity of the state and federal water projects if they had been completely built as planned in the 50’s and 60’s. The system was never completely built, so 100% delivery is impossible and the “real 100%” is 50%, or something like that.
