SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CVP and SWP facilities that pump water 
from the Delta can entrain and kill fish, some of which are Federally 
and State protected species. Reductions in CVP and SWP pumping to 
protect these fish species can reduce water supply reliability. The EWA 
Program includes Federal and State agencies making environmentally 
beneficial changes in the operation of the CVP and SWP for Delta-
dependent native fish species, and acquiring and managing water assets 
to pay back the water foregone by changes to the operation of the CVP
