Increase in State Water Project 2024 Allocation to 30 Percent
On March 22, 2024, the Department of Water Resources (DWR) announced that after a very dry start to the water year, above average precipitation in February has improved water supply conditions throughout California, moving them toward historic averages. At the same time, Delta exports have been reduced to meet requirements in place to protect several critical fish species. After considering the updated water supply forecast along with a forecast of export capabilities, the Department of Water Resources (DWR) is increasing the State Water Project (SWP) allocation from 15 to 30 percent of SWP contractors’ requested Table A amounts for 2024.
