As a series of atmospheric rivers bring rain and high elevation snow to communities throughout California, the winter storms are crucial for the State Water Project, helping fill reservoirs and support water deliveries.
The State Water Project (SWP) is part of the backbone of California’s water infrastructure – a multi-benefit project that supplies water to 27 million Californians and 750,000 acres of farmland, provides flood protection, generates hydropower, offers recreational opportunities and provides environmental benefits.
