Thirsty Land: Central Valley Irrigation Mega Project
The Central Valley project aims to equalize water resources across California to irrigate over one million acres. Northern surplus water is stored at Shasta and Folsom dams, then routed via Delta Cross Channel to Tracy and Mendota, powering Friant Kern, with costs and repayments laid out. The program, part of a national reclamation effort, has transformed the West with dams, canals, and power, delivering billions in crops and tax revenues since 1903.
