The Delta Stewardship Council

The Delta Stewardship Council is a California state agency responsible for managing and protecting the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, a vital water source and ecological area. Established in 2009, the Council works to balance the needs of water supply, flood protection, and environmental health. It creates policies and a comprehensive plan that aim to improve the Delta's resilience against challenges like climate change, habitat loss, and water demand. By coordinating efforts among various stakeholders, the Council seeks to ensure the Delta remains sustainable and serves both people and nature effectively.
