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

Improving the flexibility of the water storage system can help ensure that water remains available for critical ecosystem and supply needs.

Funds protection and cleanup of groundwater basins to help achieve sustainability.

Potential groundwater projects will help to protect groundwater that is or could be used for drinking water. Projects are focused on meeting identified goals such as:

  • Improving local water supply reliability
  • Reducing threats to groundwater aquifers
  • Recharging high-use groundwater basins
  • Reducing the risk of spreading groundwater contamination
