Gov. Gavin Newsom reaffirmed his commitment to the Sites Reservoir project as a vital solution for better water management and drought preparedness amidst climate change.
The project, proposed at $4.5 billion, would be California's largest reservoir in 50 years, diverting water from the Sacramento River to serve agriculture and urban areas.
Criticizing delays caused by legal battles and NIMBYism, Newsom stated, 'The world we invented is competing against us,' emphasizing the need to streamline processes for water infrastructure.
Supported by President Biden and numerous water agencies, the Sites Reservoir aims to supply water to 24 million people and 500,000 acres of farmland in California.
