California Department of Water Resources

than getting through the rebuilding of the whole Oroville Reservoir.

They allowed me, Kiewit, the engineer, and Department of Water Resources, I earned their trust to where they let me onto the property and document the entire rebuilding of the Oroville Spillway, which was an amazing engineering feat.

About 10 years worth of work crammed into two water seasons without flooding the place.

And I didn't know a damn thing about dams, but I sure did after I was done.

Three died.

California Department of Water Resources planners announced that a new state water project would be artistic as well as functional.

Pointing out that the aqueducts of ancient Rome were also designed to be impressive as well as enduring, a department spokesperson said, the basic color scheme will be the studies of grays, blacks, and white, with strategic use of bold accent colors of a turquoise blue and a flaming red, symbolizing water and power.

In Garden Grove, California, the privately owned Dyke Water Company requested a small rate increase, which was refused by the State Public Utilities Commission.

It has also given water officials more room to manage the cost, timing, and reliability of one of the state's largest single electricity loads.

Governor Gavin Newsom has signed SB 952, legislation intended to give the California Department of Water Resources more flexibility as it moves the state water project toward a 100% renewable and zero-carbon electricity portfolio.

Newsom signed the measure from Senator John Laird on August 31.

The change does not relax California's 2035 Clean Power requirement for state agencies.

Um, if you look at the, the salmon strategy for, uh, the hotter, drier future that the governor's office produced, um, one of the key components of that is partnerships.

Um, you know, we've been working with, uh, Bureau of Reclamation, Department of Water Resources, East Bay MUD to explore things like pulse flows that coincide with fish releases, um, to help increase survival, push these fish downstream faster, um, get them out of the system.

Um, there's been stakeholder groups.

For example, like The Bridge Group, I think, is a really good example where the fish- fishing industry and some of the big water contractors have actually come together and they're working on common goals that they have to help salmon.
