Water Rights

CVWD maintains three water rights permits with the State Water Board’s Water Rights Registrations Program. The permits provide legal authorization to divert water for beneficial uses in accordance with the permits. Senate Bill (SB) 88 requires CVWD to measure and report the water diverted under these permits. For more information on the State Water Board’s Water Rights Program visit the Division of Water Rights.

SB 88 Water Diversion Data

Real-time data available from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is provisional (P) until the data have been reviewed and approved (A) by the USGS. Provisional data may be subject to change and are not citable until approved. The real-time data are reviewed for quality assurance and control in order to annually report monthly diversions under each water rights permit.
