New Delta Research Station Moves Closer to Construction

A state of the art scientific field station planned for the California Delta is getting closer to reality with the finalizing of the project’s environmental documents by the California Department of Water Resources. The proposed field station in Rio Vista would be home to scientists from nine state and federal agencies who are now scattered in offices across the region. All are involved in the decades-long effort to monitor conditions in the California Delta, the largest estuary on the west coast of the western hemisphere.
