Our mission is to sustainably manage the water resources of California.
About us
In 1956, the Legislature passed a bill creating DWR to plan, design, construct, and oversee the building of the nation's largest state-built water development and conveyance system. Today, DWR protects, conserves, develops, and manages much of California's water supply including the State Water Project which provides water for 27 million Californians and 750,000 acres of farmland Working with other agencies and the public, DWR develops strategic goals, and near-term and long-term actions to conserve, manage, develop, and sustain California's watersheds, water resources, and management systems. DWR also works to prevent and respond to floods, droughts, and catastrophic events that would threaten public safety, water resources and management systems, the environment, and property. Balancing the State's water needs with environmental protection remains a long-term challenge.

The California Water Plan contains a massive wave of information, so DWR is summarizing the highlights for you in smaller “splashes”! 💦 This splash is pretty simple but it’s the core concept that developing statewide and watershed resilience requires local, State, and federal investments. DWR is committed to continuing to fund watershed resilience programs for our water resilient future.

How is climate change affecting California’s water supply and how can we adapt? This animated video explains how the Delta Conveyance Project will help California prepare for a hotter future with more unpredictable precipitation and seasonal flow patterns. Specifically, modernizing the State Water Project infrastructure in the Delta will allow us to capture, move and store water during extreme rain events for use when it is needed most, providing the flexibility to better manage California’s changing weather patterns.
