Project scope
A multipurpose, interconnected system of dams, reservoirs, powerplants, canals, conduits, tunnels, and related facilities organized into interrelated divisions and units. The source counts 20 dams and reservoirs, 11 powerplants, and 500 miles of major canals, and describes a reach of about 400 miles. Separately, it says project plans encompassed 35 counties over an area about 500 miles long and 60 to 100 miles wide; these are distinct geographic descriptions that the page does not reconcile. Auburn Dam was intended to be the CVP's largest dam but is described as incomplete and in limbo, not as a completed facility. The CVP shares conveyance and coordinated operations with the State Water Project (SWP), but the source distinguishes the CVP from the SWP and from local water-rights infrastructure.
Reported status and procurement
- Reported development
The page reports annual delivery of about 7 million acre-feet for agricultural, urban, and wildlife use; about 5 million acre-feet for farms; and about 600,000 acre-feet for municipal and industrial use. It also reports annual electricity generation of 5.6 billion kilowatt-hours. The water figures are not assigned a measurement year on the page.
- Procurement availability
- Unknown / not established
A source report alone does not establish current progress or an open buying window.
Project summary
The Central Valley Project (CVP) is described as a multipurpose water and power system in California. The page counts 20 dams and reservoirs, 11 powerplants, and 500 miles of major canals, and describes a reach of about 400 miles. Separately, it describes plans covering 35 counties over an area about 500 miles long and 60 to 100 miles wide; it does not reconcile those geographic descriptions. Auburn Dam is described as incomplete and in limbo, not a completed facility. The CVP shares conveyance and coordinated operations with the State Water Project, but is distinguished from it and from local water-rights infrastructure. The page describes reservoir storage and regulation, diversion and pumping, conveyance, and delivery; local districts distribute water from main canals to users. Reported annual figures include about 7 million acre-feet delivered and 5.6 billion kilowatt-hours generated; no measurement year is assigned to the water figures. Fish and wildlife purposes and allocations are reported, not measured ecological outcomes.
Evidence limits and unknowns
The supplied page has no publication date; its historic milestones and undated operating descriptions do not establish present-day facility or operational status.
The source identifies a historical Shasta Dam construction contract awarded July 6, 1938, but does not establish current procurement or purchasing activity. No buying window is identified.
Related documents and facility pages are linked or named, but were not acquired or interpreted.
