The California Department of Water Resources and Stockton East Water District host a press event with local officials in the central valley to highlight improvements to the Bellota Weir modification project on the Calaveras River in San Joaquin County, California, on September 6, 2023.

This project is being developed with a $12 million grant from the Department of Water Resources’ Urban Drought Relief Community Program. The project will enhance Stockton's water quality, reliability and groundwater recharge capability while protecting local wildlife.
