… The [Delta] conveyance system is one of California’s largest proposed public infrastructure projects in a generation, a 45-mile underground tunnel that would siphon water from an inland network of rivers and farming islands between Sacramento County in the north and Contra Costa County in the south. … Southern and Central California water districts want the tunnel to move more fresh water to their agriculture and Los Angeles-area customers. … DTEC [Delta Tribal Environmental Coalition] — already concerned about large water exports shipped through existing pumps from the Delta — worries the $20-billion project will wreak havoc on the plants and wildlife of the estuary and its connected rivers.
