The California State Water Project, commonly known as the SWP, is a state water management project in the U. S. state of California under the supervision of the California Department of Water Resources. The SWP is one of the largest public water and power utilities in the world, providing drinking water for more than 2. GWh of hydroelectricity annually. However, as it is the largest single consumer of power in the state itself, it has a net usage of 5. GWh. 2The SWP collects water from rivers in Northern California and redistributes it to the water scarce but populous south through a network of aqueducts, pumping stations and power plants. About 7. 0 of the water provided by the project is used for urban areas and industry in Southern California and the San Francisco Bay Area, and 3. Central Valley. 3 To reach Southern California, the water must be pumped 2,8. Tehachapi Mountains, with 1,9. Edmonston Pumping Plant alone, the highest single water lift in the world. The SWP shares many facilities with the federal Central Valley Project CVP, which primarily serves agricultural users. Water can be interchanged between SWP and CVP canals as needed to meet peak requirements for project constituents. The SWP provides estimated annual benefits of 4. Californias economy. Since its inception in 1. SWP has required the construction of 2. As a result, the project has only delivered an average of 2. Environmental concerns caused by the dry season removal of water from the SacramentoSan Joaquin River Delta, a sensitive estuary region, have often led to further reductions in water delivery. Work continues today to expand the SWPs water delivery capacity while finding solutions for the environmental impacts of water diversion. HistoryeditThe original purpose of the project was to provide water for arid Southern California, whose local water resources and share of the Colorado River were insufficient to sustain the regions growth. The SWP was rooted in two proposals. The United Western Investigation of 1. U. S. Bureau of Reclamation, assessed the feasibility of interbasin water transfers in the Western United States. In California, this plan contemplated the construction of dams on rivers draining to Californias North Coast the wild and undammed Klamath, Eel, Mad and Smith River systems and tunnels to carry the impounded water to the Sacramento River system, where it could be diverted southwards. In the same year, State Engineer A. D. Edmonston proposed the Feather River Project, which proposed the damming of the Feather River, a tributary of the Sacramento River, for the same purpose. The Feather River was much more accessible than the North Coast rivers, but did not have nearly as much water. Under both of the plans, a series of canals and pumps would carry the water south through the Central Valley to the foot of the Tehachapi Mountains, where it would pass through the Tehachapi Tunnel to reach Southern California. Calls for a comprehensive statewide water management system complementing the extensive, but primarily irrigation based Central Valley Project led to the creation of the California Department of Water Resources in 1. The following year, the preliminary studies were compiled into the extensive California Water Plan, or Bulletin No. The project was intended for the control, protection, conservation, distribution, and utilization of the waters of California, to meet present and future needs for all beneficial uses and purposes in all areas of the state to the maximum feasible extent. California governor Pat Brown would later say it was to correct an accident of people and geography. The diversion of the North Coast rivers was abandoned in the plans early stages after strong opposition from locals and concerns about the potential impact on the salmon in North Coast rivers. The California Water Plan would have to go ahead with the development of the Feather River alone, as proposed by Edmonston. The Burns Porter Act of 1. Construction on Stage I of the project, which would deliver the first 2. Northern Californians opposed the measure as a boondoggle and an attempt to steal their water resources. In fact, the city of Los Angeles which was to be one of the principal beneficiaries also opposed the project locals saw it as a ploy by politicians in the other Colorado River basin states to get Los Angeles to relinquish its share of the Colorado River. Historians largely attribute the success of the Burns Porter Act and the State Water Project to major agribusiness lobbying, particularly by J. G. Boswell II of the J. G. Boswell cotton company. The bond was passed on an extremely narrow margin of 1. In 1. 96. 1, ground was broken on Oroville Dam, and in 1. California Aqueduct and San Luis Reservoir. The first deliveries to the Bay Area were made in 1. San Joaquin Valley by 1. Due to concerns over the fault ridden geography of the Tehachapi Mountains, the tunnel plan was scrapped the water would have to be pumped over the mountains 3,5. In 1. 97. 3, the pumps and the East and West branches of the aqueduct were completed, and the first water was delivered to Southern California. A Peripheral Canal, which would have carried SWP water around the vulnerable and ecologically sensitive SacramentoSan Joaquin River Delta, was rejected in 1. The Coastal Branch, which delivers water to coastal central California, was completed in 1. Project descriptioneditFeather River facilitiesedit. Oroville Dam and Lake Oroville on the Feather River. The Feather River, a tributary of the Sacramento River, provides the primary watershed for the State Water Project. Runoff from the Feather River headwaters is captured in Antelope, Frenchman, and Davis reservoirs, which impound tributaries of the North and Middle forks of the Feather River. Collectively referred to as the Upper Feather River Lakes, these three reservoirs provide a combined storage capacity of about 1. Water released from the Upper Feather River system flows into Lake Oroville, which is formed by the Oroville Dam several miles above the city of Oroville. At 7. 70 feet 2. Oroville is the tallest dam in the United States 2. California. Authorized by an emergency flood control measure in 1. Oroville Dam was built between 1. Lake Oroville has a capacity to store approximately 3. SWPs total system storage capacity, and is the single most important reservoir of the project. Water stored in Lake Oroville is released through the 8. MW Edward Hyatt pumped storage powerplant2. Oroville Dam, which together make up the Oroville Thermalito Complex. The Thermalito Forebay and Afterbay support the 1. MW Thermalito Pumping Generating Plant, and the Thermalito Diversion Dam supports a smaller 3. MW powerplant. 2.
