California WaterFix Protects Ecosystems and Improves Infrastructure

Not many simple statements can be made about the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, except these: It’s hard to overstate the importance of the region’s resources to California – or the complexity of sharing those resources.

Two out of three Californians depend upon water from the Delta, but nearly every discussion of Delta water centers on fish. That is because the Delta is the largest estuary on the West Coast, a vital migratory corridor and home to several endangered species. Protecting native fish directly affects how much water can be delivered to farms and cities.
