Authorization of the Central Valley Project (CVP) in 1935, created the project's initial three divisions, including Shasta Division. California first tried to build the CVP, but unable to breach the financial wall, the state turned to the Bureau of Reclamation. Federal and state project planners envisioned Shasta Dam as the key to the Central Valley Project. Shasta would perform several duties for the project, including water storage, to release for irrigation and salinity control in the Delta; flood control, to protect communities along the Sacramento River, long afflicted by flood waters; and power generation.
