The Central Valley Flood Protection Plan (CVFPP) recommends that the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) develop a system for tracking performance of the flood system, including the following actions:

• Track the outcomes from flood investments to demonstrate value.

• Monitor and track outcomes of multi-benefit projects over time.

• Create a tracking system of operations and maintenance investments and outcomes to demonstrate the value that Local Maintaining Agencies attain for their investments.

• Track and report changes in the hydrologic and sea level rise conditions and subsidence over time through updates to the Flood System Status Report (FSSR)

These recommendations stem from progressive work during the development of the 2012 CVFPP and subsequent 2017 CVFPP update. The DWR Flood Performance Tracking System tracks the CVFPP outcomes related to: (1) improving flood risk management and (2) enhancing ecosystem vitality. This tracking system has the ability to track the status, trends, and changes over time of the ecosystem (including the Conservation Strategy’s Measurable Objectives [CSMOs] as of 2016) outlined in the Conservation Strategy document here: https://cawaterlibrary.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/ConservStrat-Nov2016.pdf along with the Flood System metrics outlined in the Flood System Status Report here: https://water.ca.gov/Programs/Flood-Management/Flood-Planning-and-Studies/Central-Valley-Flood-Protection-Plan.

The associated data are considered DWR enterprise GIS data, which meet all appropriate requirements of the DWR Spatial Data Standards, specifically the DWR Spatial Data Standard version 3.1, dated September 11, 2019.
