Funds new water storage projects to add flexibility to the system and create more places to store water for use later.
Eligible 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
Improving the flexibility of the water storage system can help ensure that water remains available for critical ecosystem and supply needs during dry years.
