Water Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

This law says that if a big project does more than just stop floods, the state will only pay for the parts that actually help with floods.

Key Takeaways

•If a project does more than just flood control, the state won't pay for everything.
•The state only pays for the parts that help stop floods.
