Vegetation - Central Valley Flood Protection Planning Area Update - 2016 [ds2890]

The Central Valley Riparian Mapping developed by the Geographic Information Center (GIC) is used as a planning tool for the Department of Water Resources (DWR) and stakeholders in planning regional flood management projects and plans associated with the Central Valley Flood Protection Plan (CVFPP). These data are used to assess current areas of vegetation and habitat within the flood protection system, set measurable objectives within CVFPP Conservation Planning areas for the enhancement of specific types of habitat, and create initial assessments of potential impacts of proposed multi-benefit projects associated with the State Plan of Flood Control. This dataset was developed as part of the California Department of Water Resource's Central Valley Flood Protection Program to facilitate regional planning and conservation and enhancement of biological resources by the Department of Water Resources, project partners, and regional stakeholders.
