#Delta #Deltatunnel #Deltaconveyance
🌊 Did you know?
The California Department of Water Resources is trying to push the #DeltaTunnel forward. The Delta is more than a waterway, it’s our community and our wildlife. Now is the time to protect it!

🌊 What's at Stake:
This Friday is a critical moment for the Delta. The California Department of Water Resources is attempting to push the Delta Conveyance Project, also known as the #DeltaTunnel, forward.

#ICYMI: In a major win for Delta communities, an appeals courtuled that the Department of Water Resources (DWR) lacks the legal authority to issue billions of dollars in bonds to construct the project.

This, CA folks!
We can stop our slippery ambitious Gov from nuking the Delta for the Resnicks, his & CA Dem Party's billionaire patrons.

TL:DR 1) SF Bay’s ecosystem collapse is driven largely by unsustainable diversion of the rivers that feed it; 2) the #DeltaTunnel will divert yet more water 💧 from the estuary;

The Water Board will be meeting Monday 3/24 on Zoom for input on whether to move forward with the disastrous #DeltaTunnel plan.
We need as many people as possible to show up to oppose this destructive, wasteful project!

Has Trump even seen a map of California? Central Valley agriculture getting more water would in no way impact Southern California's current fires. Trump also doesn't seem aware that MWD has committed $150M to the next step of the #DeltaTunnel project. #eatonfire #palisadesfire
As Baykeeper attorney Eric Buescher and @restorethedelta.bsky.social director Barbara Barrigan-Parilla write, the #DeltaTunnel project has been plagued by incompetence & mismanagement—while more urgent issues facing the State Water Project remain ignored: mavensnotebook.com/2025/01/07/g...
I just came across this via Facebook and I'm hella shocked... 😲 🤯...#ImNotOkWithThis...😢😥😭

Today we will be sharing important updates regarding the #Deltatunnel in today's Special Joint Meeting of the Executive Committee and Board of Directors from the Metropolitan Water District.
The meeting starts at 12:00 pm, follow us for updates here or on Threads @RestoretheDelta.

We're keeping up with the vote for continued funding of the #DeltaTunnel at Metropolitan Water District. While the vote is tomorrow, the One Water & Stewardship Committee is today. Follow along with us here: bit.ly/3ZJDEb9
Looking at the modeling technical appendix to the #Deltatunnel Final EIR one discovers that the hydrodynamic modeling of sea level rise did not address Delta levee failure or long term island flooding.
One of the clearer examples of strategic misrepresentation in the #Deltatunnel EIR is the assertion in the Climate Change chapter that “intakes in the north Delta were found to not be vulnerable to future salinity intrusion conditions...” (p. 30-23.)...
The #Deltatunnel benefits for resilience of State Water Project exports with sea level rise have been exaggerated. This is an example of @BentFlyvbjerg's strategic misrepresentation in megaprojects. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm
California's climate adaptation efforts, including the #Deltatunnel, are failing to address the increasing risk of extreme flooding in the Central Valley with climate change. https://x.com/Weather_West/status/1097928534591504384
The #Deltatunnel cost-benefit analysis also fails to consider that North Delta intakes are only being designed to withstand a 1 in 200 year flood, as modeled for the 2022 Central Valley Flood Protection Plan. State of the art climate models project larger precipitation extremes.
The #Deltatunnel cost-benefit analysis has a major omission, in that it fails to include the cost of raising the Delta levees to keep up with sea level rise. This was the assumption in DWR's modeling of salinity intrusion at the North Delta intakes....
Yet California Governor & state agencies are proposing the #Deltatunnel as an adaptation to more than 2 C of warming. 🤦♀️ “Global heating risks most cataclysmic extinction of marine life in 250m years” | Climate crisis | The Guardian...
Delta Independent Science Board requests extension on #Deltatunnel Draft EIR comments cah2oresearch.com/2022/09/19/delta-indepen... via @cah2oresearch
Join me in telling DWR to stop the environmentally destructive #DeltaTunnel project. Send in a comment today!...
The #Deltatunnel EIR is 20,000 pages. Ninety days is far too short for a peer review of the project by the Delta Independent Science Board. cah2oresearch.com/2022/07/25/delta-isb-rev...
The #Deltatunnel needs more modeling: "… there remains uncertainty over the degree of salinity intrusion for a specific sea level rise assumption because many issues that affect model results were not addressed in the Study, e.g... island flooding..."...
#Deltatunnel Central Tendency projections of hydrologic shifts under #climatechange using CMIP5. DWR's Central Tendency model projects a 3% increase in the Sacramento Four River Index, and a 0.5% increase in the San Joaquin River Four River Index.
