Abstract

This Part of Division 5 concerns state powers over flood control in California. The Department of Water Resources may make examinations of lands subject to inundation and overflow by flood waters and of the waters causing the inundation or overflow and may make plans and estimates of the cost of works to regulate and control the flood waters. The Part also concerns cooperation in National Flood Insurance Programs such as the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, maintenance and operation of the flood control works of the Sacramento River Flood Control Project, and duties of the reclamation districts, levee districts, protection districts, drainage districts, municipalities, and other public agencies within the Sacramento River Flood Control Project limits.
