California Delta

The California Delta, often called the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, is a network of interconnected rivers, streams, and canals in Northern California. It forms a vital water system that supplies freshwater for agriculture, cities, and ecosystems across the state. Covering about 1,100 square miles, the Delta is home to diverse wildlife and provides recreational opportunities. Its complex waterways are key to California’s water infrastructure, enabling water movement between northern and southern regions. However, issues like water management, environmental protection, and habitat preservation make the Delta a focal point for ongoing environmental and infrastructural discussions.
