Lets California water users get water from the Orland Project more easily, even during dry years.
This bill would make it easier for the Central Valley Project in California to receive water from the Orland Project. It would let the Department of the Interior transfer water at any time, even during dry periods, if consistent with the Central Valley Project's goals.
Today, transferring water from the Orland Project to the Central Valley Project is limited by how much rain or snow falls in a given year. This bill would change that, letting the Department of the Interior transfer water at any time, even during dry periods, if requested and if it fits the Central Valley Project's goals.
