Document Description
Generally, the maintenance activities include the work to maintain and repair the structures that make up the State Water Project in southern California. Specifically, the structures includes culverts, overchutes, siphons, low water crossings, stream gauging stations, and seepage areas below the dams. Typical maintenance activities include the removal of deposited sediment and debris and the clearing of vegetation that impairs the functioning of the structures. By properly maintaining State Water Project, DWR ensures the continued operation of the SWP by providing a major source of water to southern California water users. Therefore, the beneficiaries of the project include all the people of southern California that receive SWP water and use its recreation facilities.
