The Orland Project is one of the oldest projects that was carried out by the United States Bureau of Reclamation[1]. This project was authorized in October 1907, and is located in the northern part of California's central valley, in the town of Orland. This town resides in Glenn county, approximately 100 miles north of Sacramento. It consists of two main dams, two diversion dams, about 17 miles of canals, and 139 miles of laterals.[1] This project accounts for 1 percent of the central valley's total irrigable soil.[1]
