,This polygon feature class is a data set compiled by DWR employees in 2013 and represents the statewide Groundwater Management Plan (Plan) boundaries predating the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) requirements. Each polygon represents the area in which a Plan is to be implemented. The boundaries were provided to DWR by the affiliated public agency and compiled into a single statewide data set. Spatial plan boundaries were provided by agencies to DWR either via shapefiles or PDFs. PDFs were georeferenced and turned into GIS layers by DWR employees. This feature class is for legacy purposes only and will not be changed nor updated. It needs to be memorialized for spatial coverage of Groundwater Management Plans prior to SGMA and because SGMA only requires medium and high priority basins to have a Groundwater Sustainability Plan. The Plans outlined in this shapefile by medium and high priority basins are in effect until SGMA goes into effect. Some low and very low priority basins will likely use the existing plans to get funding for future basin management (since it is only voluntary for them to provide a Plan under SGMA, but they already have one in place). The data set is considered complete because of its legacy status. However, anyone using the data set will notice boundary inconsistencies, agency plan overlaps, mismatches, and other topology errors. The data set is based on boundary estimations and in the cases of medium and high priority basins will be outdated with in implementation of SGMA.,The associated data are considered DWR enterprise GIS data, which meet all appropriate requirements of the DWR Spatial Data Standards, specifically the DWR Spatial Data Standard version 3.1, dated September 11, 2019. This data set was not produced by DWR. Data were originally developed and supplied by each individual plan agency and compiled by DWR. DWR makes no warranties or guarantees — either expressed or implied— as to the completeness, accuracy, or correctness of the data. DWR neither accepts nor assumes liability arising from or for any incorrect, incomplete, or misleading subject data. Comments, problems, improvements, updates, or suggestions should be forwarded to GIS@water.ca.gov.,

Inlets waters are listed on the coast only.,,These features are reachable by County\DAU. This allows the county boundaries, the DAU boundaries and the State of California Boundary to match Cal-Fire cnty18_1.,,DAU Background,,The first investigation of California's water resources began in 1873 when President Ulysses S. Grant commissioned an investigation by Colonel B. S. Alexander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The state followed with its own study in 1878 when the State Engineer's office was created and filled by William Hammond Hall. The concept of a statewide water development project was first raised in 1919 by Lt. Robert B. Marshall of the U.S. Geological Survey.,,In 1931, State Engineer Edward Hyatt introduced a report identifying the facilities required and the economic means to accomplish a north-to-south water transfer. Called the "State Water Plan", the report took nine years to prepare. To implement the plan, the Legislature passed the Central Valley Act of 1933, which authorized the project. Due to lack of funds, the federal government took over the CVP as a public works project to provide jobs and its construction began in 1935.,,In 1945, the California Legislature authorized an investigation of statewide water resources and in 1947, the California Legislature requested that an investigation be conducted of the water resources as well as present and future water needs for all hydrologic regions in the State. Accordingly, DWR and its predecessor agencies began to collect the urban and agricultural land use and water use data that serve as the basis for the computations of current and projected water uses.,,The work, conducted by the Division of Water Resources (DWR’s predecessor) under the Department of Public Works, led to the publication of three important bulletins: Bulletin 1 (1951), "Water Resources of California," a collection of data on precipitation, unimpaired stream flows, flood flows and frequency, and water quality statewide; Bulletin 2 (1955), "Water Utilization and Requirements of California," estimates of water uses and forecasts of "ultimate" water needs; and Bulletin 3 (1957), "The California Water Plan," plans for full practical development of California’s water resources, both by local projects and a major State project to meet the State's ultimate needs. (**See brief addendum below** “The Development of Boundaries for Hydrologic Studies for the Sacramento Valley Region”),,DWR subdivided California into study areas for planning purposes. The largest study areas are the ten hydrologic regions (HR), corresponding to the State’s major drainage basins. The next levels of delineation are the Planning Areas (PA), which in turn are composed of multiple detailed analysis units (DAU). The DAUs are often split by county boundaries, so are the smallest study areas used by DWR.,,The DAU/counties are used for estimating water demand by agricultural crops and other surfaces for water resources planning. Under current guidelines, each DAU/County has multiple crop and land-use categories. Many planning studies begin

This feature class represents the Systemwide Planning Area. It is one of the three Central Valley Flood Protection Plan (CVFPP) Planning Areas. It is comprised of the following layers:Below are layers that delineate the boundary.1. Levee Flood Protection Zones (LFPZs) developed by DWR as a first estimate of areas potentially inundated due to State Plan of Flood Control (SPFC) levee failure. There are no frequencies associated with these areas. LeveeFloodProtectionZone_20100301 (DWR)2. Comprehensive Study 500 year floodplain delineation (CS_FP_500YR_Dissolve.shp) (DWR)3. 200 year floodplain developed by DWR for the reaches of the Sacramento River upstream of Woodson Bridge which was the limit of the floodplain development for the Comprehensive Study. DWR_FloodPlain_200YR (DWR)4. American River Economic Reevalulation Report (ARERR) 500 Year Floodplain.5. legal_delta.shp6. A 50ft buffer of streams defining the hydrologic connections between multi-purpose or dedicated flood control reservoirs within the WPA.7. Added the multipurpose/Flood Control Reservoirs (MultipurposeReservoirs_20100902.shp)8. If Hydrologic features (Rivers, Channels, bypasses, etc) have SPFC Project levees on BOTH sides of the features… Include areas between two levees.9. If Hydrologic features (Rivers, Channels, bypasses, etc) have SPFC Project levees on ONE sides of the features… Include areas from centerline of the feature to the levees.10. Middle Creek, Adin, and North Fork Feather River project have been added.11. HEC-FDA Impact Areas (the latest version developed with no holes/overlaps) were added as a way of filling in and smoothing the ragged boundaries of the Comprehensive Study 500yr Floodplain.12. Data holes were filled using an automated process and supplemented by visual inspection and manual additions/subtractions.13. Added USACE (Sacrametonto Office - SPK) provided protection areas that intersected the existing SPA except those outside of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Hyrdologic Regions (as defined by CA DWR CalWater 2.2).

,The Central Valley Flood Protection Plan (CVFPP) recommends that the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) develop a system for tracking performance of the flood system, including the following actions:,• Track the outcomes from flood investments to demonstrate value.,• Monitor and track outcomes of multi-benefit projects over time.,• Create a tracking system of operations and maintenance investments and outcomes to demonstrate the value that Local Maintaining Agencies attain for their investments.,• Track and report changes in the hydrologic and sea level rise conditions and subsidence over time through updates to the Flood System Status Report (FSSR),These recommendations stem from progressive work during the development of the 2012 CVFPP and subsequent 2017 CVFPP update. The DWR Flood Performance Tracking System tracks the CVFPP outcomes related to: (1) improving flood risk management and (2) enhancing ecosystem vitality.
