Flooding in recent years provides a reminder of how important it is to invest in California’s flood infrastructure. The Central Valley Tributaries Program is a new program that provides Proposition 1 State funds for multi-benefit flood risk reduction projects on tributaries of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. This program will fund projects that address Central Valley flood risk for urban and small communities, enhance ecosystems, and improve fish and wildlife habitat.
DWR has released the Central Valley Tributaries Program Guidelines and Proposal Solicitation.
