California’s State Water Project
The Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) utilizes imported water for groundwater replenishment at three facilities in the Coachella Valley. CVWD holds entitlements to Colorado River and State Water Project (SWP) water and uses these sources to alleviate aquifer overdraft. To ensure continued water supply reliability, however, investments in the SWP’s infrastructure are critical, along with a strategy to restore the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta’s ecosystem. State and federal agencies and other stakeholders have been working for more than a decade to develop plans to achieve these co-equal goals.
