 The California Aqueduct is part of the State Water Project, which was
designed to provide water primarily for urban use. It also supplies water for irrigation,
hydrologic power, recreation and wildlife. The SWP also provides flood control. This
scene, as viewed from Interstate 5, shows vineyards in the foreground and the Great
Central Valley stretching beyond the aqueduct.
