Overview of the State Water Project
The California State Water Project (SWP) is a multi-purpose water storage and delivery system that extends more than 705 miles—two-thirds the length of California. A collection of canals, pipelines, reservoirs, and hydroelectric power facilities delivers clean water to 27 million Californians, 750,000 acres of farmland, and businesses throughout our state. Tracy Hinojosa, Water Operations Branch Manager at the Department of Water Resources, Division of Operations & Maintenance, will present an overview of the SWP, including the history, purpose, and benefits of the project, as well as the challenges facing the SWP today.
