The Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) increased 2026 Central Valley Project water allocations for irrigation water service and repayment contractors south of the Delta from 28% to 31% of their contract totals.
The increase reflects better-than-expected supplies in an off-stream reservoir south of the Delta. This allocation comes from water supplies already south of the Delta and will not change Delta operations.
All other allocations announced Aug. 11 remain unchanged. BOR said it will continue monitoring water conditions and managing available supplies for farms, cities, wildlife refuges and other uses.
