The Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta is a critical estuary, home to diverse wildlife, and its degradation through the tunnel project threatens both ecology and local communities.
The proposed Delta tunnel construction, with a 36-foot diameter and 45-miles long, promises destructive impacts on the West Coast's largest estuary, significantly harming salmon fisheries.
State Water Resources Control Board is limiting public participation in hearings for the Delta Conveyance Project, sparking concerns about the transparency of this major infrastructural decision.
The actual needs of the Delta include improved water quality standards and increased water flows, not a diversion that risks ecological and cultural degradation.
