Funds new water storage projects to add flexibility to the system and create more places to store water for use later.

Potential storage projects would include:

  • Surface Water Storage
  • Groundwater Storage
  • Conjunctive use projects
  • Local and regional surface water

Projects must help meet certain public benefit criteria to be considered for funding. Public benefit criteria include one or more of the areas below.

  • Improved river water quality or groundwater quality
  • Improving emergency response to ensure continued water exports during a crisis
  • Benefits to flood control
  • Recreational Purposes

Examples of the storage projects that might benefit the Sacramento Valley include:
Sites Reservoir
