The Department of Water Resources has two major infrastructure programs: the State Water Project and the flood control system in the Central Valley. The State Water Project is a water storage and delivery system that consists of 28 dams and reservoirs, 22 pumping plants, 3 pumping-generating plants, 5 hydroelectric power plants, and over 660 miles of canals and pipelines. The Project provides water to 23 million Californians and 755,000 acres of irrigated farmland. Existing flood control infrastructure in the Central Valley consists of 1,595 miles of levees, 348,000 acres of channels and floodways, nearly 800,000 linear feet of bank protection, and 55 various flood control structures. In general, these facilities provide more flood protection in urbanized areas and less in agricultural areas.

• The Budget includes $31.5 million Proposition 1E and $11.9 million in local reimbursements for the following four flood control projects in the Central Valley currently under construction: (1) Mid-Valley Area Levee Reconstruction Project, (2) South Sacramento County Streams, (3) Folsom Dam Raise Project, (4) Folsom Dam Raise Project, Bridge Element. The Budget also includes $3.7 million to reimburse the state's share of the American River Natomas Features Project
  
  
• The Budget includes $100 million Proposition 1E for Systemwide Levee Evaluations and Repairs to help ensure weak portions of levees in the Central Valley are identified and repaired.
  
  
• Consistent with the Governor's stated intent in March 2006, the Budget includes $200 million Proposition 1E to reimburse the General Fund for costs associated with repairs of levee critical erosion sites.
