Los Angeles, CA (March 12, 2023): The Sacramento-San Joaquin Bay Delta is an area of immense importance to the state of California. Spanning over 1,100 square miles, the Delta is the hub of the state’s water system, providing drinking water to over 25 million people and irrigation water to over 3 million acres of farmland. In addition, the Bay delta tunnel is home to a variety of wildlife, including numerous species of fish, birds, and mammals.

The Delta is an integral part of the state’s water supply, and its importance is only increasing as the population of California continues to grow. The Delta also serves as a vital habitat for the state’s diverse wildlife, providing a safe and secure home for many species.

California's water problems will not be resolved by the Delta tunnels, a plan to redirect Sacramento River water intended for the Sacramento San Joaquin Delta. These tunnels would provide water straight to urban customers in Southern California, the Bay Area, and Central Valley farmland. The Sierra Club California is in favor of strong alternatives to the tunnels that would have less of an adverse effect on the environment and improve the long-term security of water for all Californians.

The future of California's economy and ecology depend on a healthy Delta. Yet, excessive water diversions are contributing to the collapse of the Bay-Delta ecosystem. As a result of the massive tunnels' increased reliance on erratic water imports from farms and urban residents, California's water security would ultimately be compromised.

The Sacramento-San Joaquin Bay Delta is a critical part of the state’s infrastructure and ecosystem, and it is essential that it is protected and preserved for generations to come. Californians strongly approve of the efforts of Sierra Club California to protect and maintain the peripheral canal, as it is an invaluable resource for the state and its citizens.

Other than this, Sierra Club California is trying to conserve ground water. It is clear that ground water conservation is an important issue, and it is essential to take steps to protect and preserve this valuable resource. By reducing water waste, harvesting and collecting rainwater, and reducing the impact of pollution, humans can ensure that ground water resources remain available for generations to come.

The most important way to conserve ground water resources is to reduce water waste. This can be done through simple methods such as fixing leaky taps, using water efficient appliances, and reducing the amount of water used for outdoor activities. In addition, water harvesting and rainwater collection systems can be used to capture and store rainwater for later use. These systems can be especially useful in areas where ground water levels are low.

When it comes to taking steps for proper water conservation, Sierra Club California is always at the forefront. It has many members joining in every day.
