Bulletin 132-17 Management of the California State Water Project

Bulletin 132-17, Management of the California State Water Project, continues the Bulletin 132 annual series begun in 1963. Bulletin 132‑17 reports water supply planning, construction, financing, management, and operation activities of the State Water Project (SWP).

Appendix B contains data and computations used to determine the SWP water contractors’ Statements of Charges for 2018. Appendix B was previously printed and distributed to SWP water contractors to document and support calculation of contractors’ annual charges.

The Bulletin discusses significant events and issues that affected SWP management and operations from January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2016. Bulletin 132-17 also discusses water supply and delivery, Delta resources and environmental issues, local assistance programs, power resources, recreation, and financial analysis of the SWP.

Please note that the water delivery figures listed are accurate at the time of this publication, but small volumes of water may be reclassified over time pursuant to long-term water supply contract provisions. If your research requires more current data than were available at the time of publication, please consult the most recent edition of Bulletin 132, or contact Department of Water Resources staff in the State Water Project Analysis Office.
