Description

Description	The Delta Conveyance Project is a $20-billion infrastructure project proposed by California Governor Gavin Newsom to build a 45-mile tunnel bypassing the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The tunnel aims to pipe Sacramento River water to a reservoir on the California Aqueduct to secure water supplies for two-thirds of Californians, addressing climate change and natural disaster threats. The project faces opposition from Delta communities, environmentalists, and the fishing industry due to concerns about ecosystem damage and community impact. The project is currently in the planning phase with construction potentially starting in 2029 and lasting around 13 years. Major obstacles include court rulings on financing, unresolved water rights decisions, and uncommitted water agencies.
