This free briefing sponsored by the Department of Water Resources and the Water Education Foundation will discuss forecasts of water project operations in the coming year.

Water year 2016 has officially begun, and all eyes are on the weather and the potential runoff. But even if the projected heavy El Niño becomes reality, the state’s drought-impacted reservoirs are still a major concern.

Thus, operations of the state and federal projects will remain a challenge. This one-day briefing at the Sacramento Convention Center will discuss hydrologic conditions, precipitation patters and the need for fishery flows as water project operations forecasts develop. This briefing, originally set for Jan. 17 in the new year, was rescheduled for February 23, 2016.
