Review of the Long-Term Operations of the Central Valley Project and the State Water Project

Numerous waterways snake through the delta where the Sacramento River and San Joaquin River meet.

In progress

An ad hoc committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will conduct a biennial review of the monitoring, modeling, and other relevant scientific activities and initiatives that support the long-term operations of the Central Valley Project (CVP). Along with the State Water Project, the CVP consists of coordinated federal-state water operations that annually move millions of acre-feet of water from Northern California to a wide variety of water users throughout the state, including municipalities, agriculture, industries and wildlife refuges. Operation of the CVP affects species protected under the Endangered Species Act.
