Delta tunnel a ‘threat’ to local way of life
A state project that would build a tunnel to divert water from the Delta to other regions of California is the “key” to modernizing the state’s water projects and providing water to millions of Californians, according to a recent study by the California Department of Water Resources. But local water agencies disagree, calling the project potentially damaging to the local ecosystem. … The DWP has pushed back against these concerns, and others, in a fact sheet that seeks to address common questions about the tunnel project.
