Learn how local water projects can become part of the State Water Project to increase dependable supplies.

This 1981 report outlines guidelines for including local water supply projects within the State Water Project (SWP). It explains why new sources of water are being explored and how such projects can be designed, financed, and operated to aid SWP contractors. The document emphasizes feasibility, environmental considerations, and the goal of boosting project yield while coordinating with existing facilities.

Key ideas covered include how a local project becomes a designated SWP unit, the role of the Department in evaluating proposals, and the balance between local benefits and statewide water needs. It also describes the financial framework, including charges that contractors pay and possible grants or bonding options to support eligible projects. The material discusses expected lifespans, project scale, and the potential for joint operation with SWP contracts.

How project yield is defined and how new water adds to SWP reliability
Financing mechanisms, including bonds and possible grants for reclamation projects
