The Central Valley Project

Improvement Act Program (CVPIA)The CVPIA is an environmental restoration and water operations program for the federal Central Valley Project. CVPIA projects are performed jointly by the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) as well as numerous other partners.Representative projects include anadromous 

fi sh 

restoration activities in the Central Valley and Trinity River basins, refuge water supply, habitat restoration, and land retirement.One of CVPIA’s primary goals is to achieve a reasonable balance among competing demands for use of Central Valley Project water, including the requirements of 

fi sh and wildlife, agriculture, municipalities, 

industry and power contractors. In order to plan and implement CVPIA activities the agencies and their partners rely on data and information about the past and current conditions of the Central Valley ecosystem. The Data Management Program will focus on consolidating and standardizing all data related to the ecosystem. The Data Management Program de

fi nes 

data as collections of facts from which conclusions may be drawn. The proper management of data will support knowledge and understanding necessary to guide CVPIA implementation.

CVPIA activity managers are considered data stewards since they are the ones primarily responsible for properly collecting, processing, documenting, and protecting the diverse data sets used to make the critical decisions needed to reach the CVPIA Program goals. Program partners and contractors working on the activities are also considered data stewards. 

PurposeThe purpose of the CVPIA Data Management Program is to manage data as a resource available to all interested parties and to ensure the data have lasting value and utility for use by future generations.ObjectivesThe Data Management Program will serve as a steward of this resource, will exercise information resource management with special emphasis on the data life cycle, and will ensure the effective and economical management of the resource.
