CWHR contains information on life history, management status, geographic distribution, and habitat relationships for wildlife species known to occur regularly in California.

CDFW Facilities [ds3076]

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>This is a point layer representing California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW - formerly California Department of Fish and Game - DFG) facilities. In 1995, under the request of John Ellison, the original coverage was created by Teale Data Center using address matching of the DFG phonebook dataset. In March of 1996, Isaac Oshima and Paul Veisze used a SPOT Imagery confirmation process applied to those facilities for which Teale could not find an address match. The update occurred using SPOT View imagery sent to the various DFG facilities. The key personnel were requested to 'ink-in' the actual physical location(s) considered to be the HQ for that particular facility. The maps were then sent back and the correct point was represented in the GIS by a point. In 1999, under Paul Veisze, GIS staff were allocated the task of calling each facility within a region and checking whether the information on file was correct. The dataset was subsequently updated. Currently, the data is updated through receiving a database from FASB/Tami Garfio ("telephone and facility List"). Point locations are verified by contacting appropriate CDFW staff or cross referencing with google and yahoo maps, gis roads layer, and imagery.</span></p></div></div></div>

DSM2 FC.2023.01

Release Notes

The following is a summary of the differences between the current release DSM2 FC.2023.01 and the previous release DSM2 v8.2.2:

- Updated cross-sections and channel lengths using the DSM2 GIS Reference Project, which used 2018 bathmetry,
and determined channel lengths using the CSDP centerline lengths (for more information, see Chapter 2 of the 2020 Annual Report at
https://data.cnra.ca.gov/dataset/dsm2/resource/010599fd-6d3c-42a6-bade-37822d4aa486). 
- Added reservoirs to represent the Yolo Flyway, Decker Island, and Tule Red restoration areas
- Added channels to represent the Lindsey Slough restoration area.
- Added a channel to connect the two branches of Paradise Cut.
- Added channels to connect the Yolo Flyway, Decker Island, and Tule Red Restoration areas to the model grid. 
- Added layered reservoir input for all reservoirs.
- Added channels for the Yolo Toe Drain, aka Prospect Slough.
- Added Yolo Toe Drain inflow data as a boundary inflow.
- Removed low flows from Calaveras flow input (lower flows don't make it to the Delta).
  
This release contains time series inputs from the 2022 DSM2 historical release, with the following changes:
- removed lower flow values from Calaveras River inflow time series. These lower flows do not actually make it to the Delta.
- Added a time series for Yolo Toe Drain (aka Prospect Slough) inflow.

SWAP Aquatic Targets - 2015 [ds2733]

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP) is designed to enhance CDFW conservation efforts. To this end, the plan establishes regions called “Provinces”, which are composed of spatially defined “Conservation Units”. Each Conservation Unit has “targets”, which are ecosystems or aquatic features which have distinct characteristics which are considered especially worth of focused conservation efforts. These Provinces, Conservation Units, and Targets are discussed in Chapter 5 of the 2015 SWAP Update, which can be found at https://wildlife.ca.gov/SWAP/Final. There are two distinct groups of conservation units. Terrestrial units represent those that protect terrestrial features, such as marshes, grasslands, or riparian habitats. Aquatic units protect aquatic features, such as fisheries or desert waters and are identified in another dataset. . This data set shows the spatial locations of Aquatic Conservation Units and identifies which Provinces they are associated with as well as where to find information about Conservation Targets within each Unit. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to determine if their project actually contains target habitat(s). That can be done by identifying the Province and Conservation Unit in which the project occurs and then reviewing Table 1 in the appropriate section of Chapter 5 of the SWAP 2015 document.To use this data set, locate your project and identify the chapter and page where the information about the Conservation Targets can be found. Click on the Chapter link and go to the appropriate page to identify the characteristics of the Conservation Targets and compare them to the characteristics of the vegetation on your site.

Statewide Irrigation Systems Methods Survey

Beginning in 1991 and approximately every 5 - 10 years an irrigation questionnaire form is distributed by mail and online survey to California growers to update records on what types of irrigation systems are being used in California. The 1991, 2001, 2010, 2016, and 2021 surveys were distributed to growers who were randomly selected from a list of about 58,000 growers obtained from the [California Department of Food and Agriculture](https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/) (CDFA). All rice-only, non-irrigation, and livestock-only growers were excluded from the list.

In these surveys, growers were also asked to identify the main county in which they farmed and the acreages they had planted to each of 20 possible crop categories along with the associated irrigation method within that county.
