Caltrans Water Conservation Efforts

The Department of Transportation is a good steward of California’s limited water resources. The Department actively manages, promotes and implements water conservation practices within the highway transportation system and associated facilities. Cost effective and appropriate water conservation strategies are employed in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of transportation facilities including, to the maximum extent practicable, the use of recycled water and state of the art irrigation technology for highway landscaping.
