California's Water Resource

Throughout California's history, water has been a vital, but scarce, natural resource.

Water is essential for supporting business and industry, for irrigating millions of acres of farmlands, for maintaining our environment, and for providing recreation and water for daily use for the people who live here.

As California's population grows, managing and sharing our limited water supplies has become more important than ever before.
