The Department of Water Resources has two major infrastructure programs: the State Water Project and the flood control system in the Central Valley. The State Water Project is a water storage and delivery system that consists of 28 dams and reservoirs, 22 pumping plants, 3 pumping-generating plants, 5 hydroelectric power plants, and over 660 miles of canals and pipelines. The Project provides water to 23 million Californians and 755,000 acres of irrigated farmland. Existing flood control infrastructure in the Central Valley consists of 1,595 miles of levees, 348,000 acres of channels and floodways, nearly 800,000 linear feet of bank protection, and 55 various flood control structures. In general, these facilities provide more flood protection in urbanized areas and less in agricultural areas.
