The CalFed Agricultural Water Use Efficiency Program links specific CalFed objectives with practical actions that can be carried out on the farm or by irrigation and water districts.

Targeted Benefits are a listing of CalFed objectives that address specific improvements in water quality, quantity
and the timing of stream flows.  A Targeted Benefit is the amount of change between the current condition and the desired outcome.  For example, if the current stream flow is 150 cubic feet per second (cfs) and the desired stream flow is 200 cfs, the Targeted Benefit is the difference between the two, or an additional 50 cfs.

Target conditions are generally taken from existing documents, such as the State of California 303d listing of impaired water bodies or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Anadromous Fish Restoration Program.

To better identify and quantify the Targeted Benefits, CalFed designated 21 sub regions in the Central Valley
that have hydrologic similarities and also interact with the Bay-Delta system.
