DWR (Department of Water Resources)

The Department of Water Resources (DWR) is a government agency responsible for managing California's water supply. It plans, develops, and oversees water infrastructure such as dams, canals, and reservoirs to ensure reliable water delivery for agriculture, industry, and residents.
