Atmospheric Rivers: Research, Mitigation, and Climate Forecasting Program.

Summary

Existing law establishes the Atmospheric Rivers: Research, Mitigation, and Climate Forecasting Program in the Department of Water Resources. Existing law requires the department, upon an appropriation for purposes of the program, to research climate forecasting and the causes and impacts that climate change has on atmospheric rivers, to operate reservoirs in a manner that improves flood protection, and to reoperate flood control and water storage facilities to capture water generated by atmospheric rivers. This bill would appropriate $9,250,000 from the General Fund to the department in the 2019â€“20 fiscal year to operate the program.
