Formed by legislative action in 1956, the California Department of Water Resources plans, designs, builds, and oversees California's large state-built water development and conveyance system. Based in Sacramento, it manages the State Water Project, which supplies water to roughly 27 million residents and about 750,000 acres of farmland. 

Working with other agencies and the public, DWR sets strategic goals and near-term and long-term actions to conserve, manage, develop, and sustain California's watersheds and water resources. It also focuses on preventing and mitigating floods, droughts, and other catastrophic events that threaten public safety, resources, the environment, and property. The agency faces the ongoing challenge of balancing the state's water needs with environmental protection.
