3860 Department of Water Resources
Infrastructure Overview

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 more than 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.


 MAJOR PROJECT CHANGES Back to Top
  • The Budget provides $15.1 million from Proposition 84 to fund recreation and fish and wildlife enhancements at State Water Project facilities.

  • The Budget provides $48 million Proposition 1E for Systemwide Levee Evaluations and Repairs to help ensure weak portions of levees in the Central Valley are identified and repaired.
