About DWR

The Division administers programs for river basin management, water supply assistance, water conservation, and water resources development. The Division conducts special studies on instream flow needs and serves as the State liaison with federal agencies on major water resources related projects. The Division also administers two environmental education outreach programs, Stream Watch and Project WET.  DWR has recently restructured its organization, elevating the Ground Water Branch to the Ground Water Management Section.   The Water Allocation Section has been renamed the River Basin Management Section, to reflect the focus of this workgroup.
