11915.5.  For the purpose of furthering recreation in any project of the department, the department may exchange any real property it has acquired for property in the state owned by the United States which is of substantially equal value, whether or not such real property of the United States is adjacent to or needed for any project of the department. Such title or rights as the department deems necessary for the proper operation and maintenance of the water conservation, flood control or power features of any water project shall not be included in any exchange consummated under this section.Any such exchange involving real property acquired by the department solely for recreation shall be concurred in by the Department of Parks and Recreation. Any such exchange involving property acquired by the department solely for fish and wildlife purposes shall be concurred in by the Department of Fish and Game. Any such exchange involving property acquired solely for fish, wildlife and recreational purposes shall be concurred in by the Department of Fish and Game and the Department of Parks and Recreation. Real property of the United States not necessary for a project of the department shall be acquired by the department by exchange under this section only if another agency of state government has agreed to acquire such real property from the department for the actual cost to the department of the real property which is to be given in exchange therefor; provided, that any amount appropriated to the department to reimburse it for prior expenditures for acquisition of such land shall be deducted from the actual cost.

2021 California Code|Water Code - WAT|DIVISION 6 - CONSERVATION, DEVELOPMENT, AND UTILIZATION OF STATE WATER RESOURCES|PART 3 - CENTRAL VALLEY PROJECT|CHAPTER 11 - Water Conservation and Reclamation Projects|ARTICLE 1 - Policy|Section 11951.

11951.  The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the following:(a) Agriculture is this state’s largest income producer, contributing approximately $14 billion annually to the economy of the state. California agriculture remains the leader in the development of modern agricultural technology and is supported by the world’s leading agricultural education and research institutions. However, the future growth and prosperity of agriculture is threatened by a lack of necessary irrigation water.(b) The population of California is expected to increase by over three million persons by the year 2000. This increase alone will require at least an additional 600,000 acre-feet of water annually for municipal purposes.(c) Upon commencement of the operation of the Central Arizona Project which is scheduled to occur by 1985, over 662,000 acre-feet of water presently available for use each year in California will be lost to the State of Arizona pursuant to decisions of the United States Supreme Court. These court decisions decrease the total water supply available to California from the Colorado River by a quantity sufficient to supply the needs of three and one-half million people.(d) The central San Joaquin Valley faces a critical water shortage amounting to approximately 1.4 million acre-feet annually which is presently being mined from the groundwater basin. The lowering of the groundwater table is causing irrigation water to be pumped at excessive depths of 500 to 600 feet or more, which requires a tremendous use of energy at a high cost.(e) Based on a 50 year average, California faces a drought in one out of every four years. During periods such as the 1976–1977 drought, the state has had critical water shortages, requiring emergency conservation measures and resulting in thousands of acres of prime agricultural land in the San Joaquin Valley remaining unplanted. At the peak of the 1976–77 drought period, the state lost approximately $1.5 billion in crop revenues as a result of inadequate supplies of irrigation water.(f) A portion of the foregoing water requirements may be economically met by water conservation and reclamation projects which produce substantial quantities of additional usable water for use in areas of the state with inadequate local supplies.(Added by Stats. 1985, Ch. 938, Sec. 1.)
CA Water Code § 11952 (2021)
2021 California Code|Water Code - WAT|DIVISION 6 - CONSERVATION, DEVELOPMENT, AND UTILIZATION OF STATE WATER RESOURCES|PART 3 - CENTRAL VALLEY PROJECT|CHAPTER 11 - Water Conservation and Reclamation Projects|ARTICLE 1 - Policy|Section 11952.

11952.  (a) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this chapter to encourage local agencies and private enterprise to implement potential water conservation and reclamation projects by establishing a state program to finance or assist in financing projects which meet state criteria and will result in additional supplies of water for use in areas of need. Water conservation and reclamation projects, including facilities for municipal and industrial advanced waste water treatment, regulatory impoundments, improvements to water supply and delivery systems, tailwater recovery systems, and sprinkler or drip irrigation systems, may result in increased quantities of usable water for beneficial purposes, but may be financially unattractive at the local level if the cost of additional fresh water is less than the cost to conserve or reclaim water.(b) It is in the interests of both the users of water supplied by the state and the users of local water supplies to undertake water conservation and reclamation projects which supply water for purposes of the State Water Resources Development System at a cost less than the cost of new state water development facilities, and which provide benefits to local water users, including decreased salt concentrations, resulting from increased irrigation efficiency and reduced problems of pollution from waste water discharges. It is not the intent of the Legislature in enacting this chapter to affect or otherwise defer the construction of water facilities necessary to meet the requirements of the people of this state, and nothing in this chapter shall be construed to affect the authority of the department under any other provision of law.(Added by Stats. 1985, Ch. 938, Sec. 1.)

The analysis for the alternative new water supply sources shall use the average cost per acre-foot of yield in the latest studies made for those sources by the department and shall compare those facilties with the proposed local conservation project using commonly accepted engineering economics. In the case of a local conservation project to be funded in part by the department as part of the system and in part from other sources, the economic analysis shall be applied only to the portion to be funded by the department as a part of the system.(Added by Stats. 1985, Ch. 938, Sec. 1.)
