Delta Tunnels

Delta Tunnels are a major infrastructure project designed to improve water management in California’s San Francisco Bay Area. They involve constructing tunnels beneath the Delta to transport freshwater from the Sacramento River to urban and agricultural areas, reducing dependence on existing water conveyance systems. The goal is to enhance water supply reliability, protect ecosystems, and adapt to climate change. The tunnels are part of a broader effort to ensure sustainable water use, decrease environmental impacts, and support the region’s growing population and agricultural needs.
