8 February, 2010 – Cadiz Inc., the owner of thousands of acres of California desert, said a study shows there’s more water under its land than the company previously estimated, giving it enough to supply 400,000 people.

A study conducted by engineering company CH2M Hill shows the aquifer under the Mojave Desert land ranges in size from 17 million to 34 million acre-feet, potentially larger than the Lake Mead reservoir near Las Vegas, according to Cadiz. The data will be presented today at a water-resources conference in Ontario, California.
