The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) has prepared the Central Valley Flood
Protection Plan (CVFPP) Conservation Strategy 2022 Update Public Draft for public review and
comment. The Conservation Strategy is an integral component of the 2022 CVFPP Update. Its
purpose is to provide actionable and measurable targets to improve riverine, aquatic, wetland, and
riparian habitat in the flood system through the integration of ecological principles with flood risk
reduction projects, operation and maintenance activities, institutional support, and other means
(e.g., the removal of fish passage barriers). The Conservation Strategy also provides data,
information, and guidance to floodplain managers to assist in the development of multi-benefit
flood infrastructure improvement projects by integrating project components and management
strategies that benefit native species and their habitats.
The draft document is now available on DWR’s website at: https://water.ca.gov/Programs/Flood-
Management/Flood-Planning-and-Studies/Conservation-Strategy.
There will be a 60-day review period for the Draft Conservation Strategy; as such, DWR will be
accepting comments until February 10, 2022.
