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 State has been taking action to capture as much water as possible from these massive storms to store for dryer times. However, groundwater is still the water savings account that California relies on which means it’s just as important to conserve that water supply so it can continue to support people, food production, natural ecosystems, and jobs. In California, water conservation must be a way of life because every drop counts. Find groundwater conservation tips at https://lnkd.in/dkKGHJar #BeWellPrepared #California #Groundwater #WaterWell
