The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta is California’s most significant freshwater hub, supplying water to more than 27 million Californians and supporting the state’s robust agricultural industry. The Delta is also home to more than 750 animal and plant species and 55 fish species, many of which are threatened or endangered. Climate change is increasing ocean saltwater intrusion into the Delta. This threatens the quality of the Delta’s freshwater and its many uses by people, farms, and ecosystems that depend on it.
The Coequal Goals
The Delta Stewardship Council was created in legislation to achieve the state mandated coequal goals for the Delta. "'Coequal goals' means the two goals of providing a more reliable water supply for California and protecting, restoring, and enhancing the Delta ecosystem. The coequal goals shall be achieved in a manner that protects and enhances the unique cultural, recreational, natural resource, and agricultural values of the Delta as an evolving place." (CA Water Code Section 85054)
