The Salton Sea Management Program (SSMP) made significant progress in 2021. It broke ground on the largest restoration project in the Sea’s history, advanced with partners several other community-oriented restoration projects around the Sea, started important vegetation management work on exposed lakebed to reduce dust emissions, and secured commitment from state leaders for an additional $220 million in funding. This was made possible through partnerships with many other entities and by growing the SSMP Team, including several critical new hires.

The CAP is a blueprint for how Metropolitan will cost-effectively reduce emissions from its operations, including those associated with water delivered through the Colorado River Aqueduct (CRA).1 The CAP sets targets for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from Metropolitan’s operations, including conveyance, storage, treatment, and delivery of water to its 26 member water agencies across its 5,200 square-mile service area, and complements Metropolitan’s existing long-range planning efforts, including the Integrated Water Resources Plan, Energy Sustainability Plan, Capital Investment Plan, and the Climate Adaptation Master Plan for Water which is currently being developed.2,3,4 The CAP also helps Metropolitan prepare for future regulations while supporting California’s GHG emission reduction goals.

The Needs Assessment is comprised of Risk, Affordability, and Cost Assessment components. Enhancement of the 2022 Needs Assessment consisted of internal workgroup recommendations and a public workshop in February 2022, all of which were detailed in a publicly available white paper. The public feedback was incorporated into the final methodology and results. Three different water system types: public water systems, state small water systems and domestic wells, are analyzed within the 2022 Needs Assessment. Different methodologies were developed for these system types based on data availability and reliability.

2022 Drought Plan Klamath Project, Oregon-California Interior Region 10, California-Great Basin

The Klamath Project (Project) delivers water for irrigation purposes to up to approximately 230,000 acres in southern Oregon and northern California when water is available. The Project relies upon several primary water sources to meet irrigation demands including water from Upper Klamath Lake (UKL), Clear Lake Reservoir, and Gerber Reservoir, and from the Klamath and Lost rivers. The Project’s water supplies (Project Supply or Supplies) have been impacted by the severe drought conditions currently affecting the Klamath Basin in southern Oregon and northern California. This 2022 Drought Plan describes the background for and the process of allocating the available Project Supply during the 2022 spring/summer irrigation season (April 15 through September 30, 20222), consistent with the contract priorities that exist within the Project.

On December 29, 2016, the Indio Subbasin GSAs submitted to the Department of Water Resources (DWR) the 2010 CVWMP (CVWD, 2012a), accompanied by a Bridge Document (Indio Subbasin GSAs, 2016), as an Alternative Plan to a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) for the Indio Subbasin. On July 17, 2019, DWR approved the 2010 CVWMP Update as an Alternative Plan. In compliance with SGMA, the GSAs have prepared Annual Reports which can be found on the program website. SGMA also requires plan updates every 5 years; this Indio Subbasin Water Management Plan Update (Alternative Plan Update) fulfills that requirement. Click here for the Plan Appendices.
