Option 1 California Department of Water Resources

Article title
Ca department of water resources
Article Evaluation
The article is written neutral because and more so gives background information on how the department was developed and its history. There is a lot of room for improvement in citations. the History section of the article is well-developed but does not include any citations for its information. The list of DWR project need links to their corresponding wiki page as well. not very much interactions are happening in talk page either.
