Water and Environment Task Force

Delta Conveyance Project
The WE Task Force will receive an overview from Carrie Buckman of the Department of Water Resources on the Delta Conveyance Project. This proposed 42 mile long bypass tunnel underneath the Delta is a potential major addition to the State Water Project. The project has been through a number of evolutions over the last couple of decades, and is being re-envisioned again.
