State Water Project allocations will once again be increased across California.

 

 

Molly White with the Department of Water Resources said the allocation amounts to nearly one-point-five-million-acre-feet of water that will be distributed to 29 water contractors. Those contractors serve about 750-thousand-acres of farmland and more than 27-million Californians. Late season rain and snow in March and April are credited with the increase in water allocations.
