The Department of Water Resources built the State Water Project (SWP) to increase statewide water supply reliability. Constructed in the 1960s and 1970s, the SWP is a network of dams, canals, and pumping plants that store and deliver water to people, farms, and industry. . The SWP delivers water to 29 water contractors in the state. These water contractors, in turn, sell water to their customers. The SWP supplies water to almost 27 million. . DWR manages above-ground reservoirs and surface water. We also provide technical assistance for the management of underground reservoirs, also known as groundwater. . DWR continues to advance new water storage and supply projects.
