Delta Stewardship Council

The Delta Stewardship Council is a government agency responsible for managing California’s Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, a vital water source. Its goal is to balance water supply, ecosystem health, and flood risk, ensuring that this critical region remains sustainable for future generations. The council develops long-term plans, makes decisions about water use and land management, and works with various stakeholders, including government agencies, environmental groups, and local communities. By doing so, it aims to protect water quality, support wildlife, and ensure reliable water supplies for farms, cities, and the environment.
