2024 California State Water Project water allocation increases from 30% to 40% due to snowpack and Lake Oroville storage, with final determination in May-June.
California's water allocation for the State Water Project has increased from 30% to 40% for 2024, providing an additional 420,000 acre-feet of water due to a healthy snowpack and increased storage in Lake Oroville. However, environmental protections for native fish in the Delta limit pumping, potentially affecting water movement and storage. The final allocation will be determined in May or June.
