Boundaries of various types of public agencies with responsibilities that include in part or primarily flood control, system maintenance, and improvement. In California, there are a variety of political entites that are granted self-taxation powers under various California codes in order to perform the basic goal of flood management within an area. This dataset compiles many of the various datasets together to provide the information in one location. It also includes districts that are no longer active political/management entities for archival or historical purposes. The primary type of flood agency in California are known as reclamation districts, and so represent the majority of the records in this database. The quality of the boundary accuracy is highly variable, due to a variety of reasons, including the fact that the original legal boundaries are frequently tied to Swamp Land Survey boundaries that themselves are poorly located by modern mapping standards. This set of boundary delineations represents the latest in a series of nearly 20 significant revisions primarily by DWR Delta Levees Program between 2000-2017 to a dataset first produced by Office of Emergency Services during the 1997 floods. The accuracy and completeness of the data are therefore higher in the Delta than elsewhere. The Division of Flood Management then stored the boundaries in their levee geodatabase that feeds the web mapping application known as FERIX. To produce this final dataset, in 2018 the Division of Engineering Geodetic Branch merged the data used by FERIX, along with other datasets used by the Delta Levees Program, and normalized the attribute table.

,Following adoption of the 2012 Central Valley Flood Protection Plan (2012 CVFPP), DWR funded six regionally-led Regional Flood Management Plans (RFMPs) that describe local and regional flood management priorities and challenges. These RFMPs also identify potential funding mechanisms and site-specific improvement needs.,The Regional Flood Management Planning Regions (RFMP) boundaries were created from the 2013 Levee Flood Protection Zones (LFPZs). Waterways were filled in and the boundaries were broken into the six planning areas by GEI Consultants Inc.,This is the second generation of study areas after the 2012 CVFPP for more specific regional planning efforts with local agencies.,

The National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) data incorporates all Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map(DFIRM) databases published by FEMA, and any Letters Of Map Revision (LOMRs) that have been issued against those databases since their publication date. The DFIRM Database is the digital, geospatial version of the flood hazard information shown on the published paper Flood Insurance Rate Maps(FIRMs). The primary risk classifications used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event, the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood event, and areas of minimal flood risk. The NFHL data are derived from Flood Insurance Studies (FISs), previously published Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), flood hazard analyses performed in support of the FISs and FIRMs, and new mapping data where available. The FISs and FIRMs are published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The specifications for the horizontal control of DFIRM data are consistent with those required for mapping at a scale of 1:12,000. The NFHL data contain layers in the Standard DFIRM datasets except for S_Label_Pt and S_Label_Ld. The NFHL is available as State or US Territory data sets. Each State or Territory data set consists of all DFIRMs and corresponding LOMRs available on the publication date of the data set.

This dataset is a compilation of ownership rights represented as parcels owned by the Sacramento & San Joaquin Drainage District of the State of California (SSJDD), under the authority of the Central Valley Flood Protection Board (CVFPB). The parcels include geospatial data and links to related source documents and were created from DWR's cadastral records currently represented as digital GIS, CAD, and scanned documents as well as hardcopy records stored in binders and filing cabinets at DWR headquarters. DWR requires GIS based parcel data to manage land records defining the location of SSJDD land rights and easements for the CVFPB. The GIS representation of land records provides an index to property records, and CAD COGO based mapping will enable the CVFPB and other entities to more efficiently identify property rights. This data set was created to improve the efficiency accessing the land records and the organization of the land records. It is anticipated this data set will serve as the authoritative source for the next 50-100 years when managed with incremental updates reflecting ongoing updates to parcel ownership and rights. Users are advised to read the dataset's metadata thoroughly to understand appropriate use and data limitations. Rights attributes (annotated with "PART OF RIGHTS ATTRIBUTE GROUP: " in the Column Definition within the Entity and Attribute section of this metadata) are restricted to use by the CVFPB and DWR's Geodetic and Real Estate branches. Please see 'Distribution Info' for details. The rest of the attributes may be consumed publicly.
