Description
Description | The Delta Conveyance Project (DCP) is a proposed water infrastructure project in California intended to convey water through the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. The project has faced opposition from tribal leaders and environmental advocates due to concerns about ecological harm, tribal sovereignty, and high costs. The project is estimated to cost between $60 billion to over $100 billion, significantly higher than the initially claimed $20 billion. The project aims to increase water deliveries from the Delta by 22%, which critics argue would worsen the ecological crisis and harm endangered fish species. |
