Flood control releases are not just an impressive display; they provide incredible benefits to California communities. Yesterday, DWR began required flood control releases using Oroville Dam’s main spillway. However, with reduced runoff levels and drier conditions in the forecast, DWR will be reducing outflows through the coming week. Some...

With this week’s storms, California is taking advantage of opportunities to capture and store water that supports the state’s long-term water supply goals — made possible through strong partnerships between the state and local agencies. These collaborations are central to Governor Newsom’s California Water Supply Strategy, Adapting to a Hotter, Drier Future, which focuses on expanding the state’s ability to capture water from winter storms and adapt to increasingly extreme weather driven by climate change. Across California, projects like these are helping turn stormwater into a resource: •The Lower Elkhorn Basin Levee Setback Project consists of seven miles of new levee, set back about 1,500-feet from a pre-existing levee. Completed in October 2023, the new levee expanded bypass capacity to increase the level of flood protection to the urban Sacramento area, and it created a beneficial habitat for native fish. This project was identified in the 2012 and 2017 Central Valley Flood Protection Plans. (Check out the Dec. 19-26 time lapse video here!) •The Lookout Slough Tidal Habitat Restoration Project is another important project with a specific floodplain component. In addition to the restoration of important tidal wetland habitat for native fish, the project expanded conveyance for the Yolo Bypass by creating 40,000 acre-feet of flood storage to prevent dangerous flooding and protect neighboring communities and infrastructure. •San Joaquin Valley flood-managed recharge projects capture high flows during storm events and direct them onto farmland and recharge basins to replenish overdrafted aquifers. •Los Angeles Basin stormwater capture efforts divert stormwater from rivers and channels into recharge facilities that supply groundwater for millions of residents. California will continue working with local partners to capture water when it’s available — helping build a more resilient water future for communities, agriculture, and the environment. #California #Water #Flood #Rain #Storm
