WASHINGTON – The U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee approved $135 million for California water projects Thursday. 

That includes $40 million for projects related to CalFed, the joint federal-state effort to protect the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta east of San Francisco that is the core of the state’s water system. 

In addition to CalFed, the appropriation includes $22 million for Oakland Harbor renovation and dredging and $22.5 million for Sacramento flood control.
