Concrete and Cement are the Backbone of California’s Water Systems Water Storage Conveyance and Quality •
Pervious concrete can remove heavy metals including mercury from contaminated runoff
Cement strengthens levees
ABOVE - The seismic remediation of the
Perris Dam has secured water supplies while protecting citizens and their homes.
•
Prevents flooding of farmland and cities in the Delta and potential sea level rise
•
Prevents seismic liquefaction and seepage of levees
•
Protects critical components of the State Water Project (SWP) from failure, overtopping, erosion, and flooding
Recycling of rubbelized concrete and mixing cement with onsite soil or air can improve the resilience of critical infrastructure against landslides, earthquakes and other hazards.
Cement protects existing dams
Concrete’s strength and durability are essential

Concrete aqueducts carry water for agriculture, industry and people
•
Concrete dams provide reliable fresh water storage
•
Pervious concrete often doubles as both a pavement and a stormwater system that recharges underground aquifers
• Guards against soil erosion along dams and spillways
•
Employs deep soil mixing to mitigate seismic liquefaction
•
Facilitates seismic retrofits for existing infrastructure
