As California’s salmon and other fish populations struggle to survive, the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) on Friday, Dec. 8 released the final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the embattled Delta Conveyance Project, AKA Delta Tunnel.

The Delta Conveyance Project is a 45-mile-long tunnel that would divert water from the Sacramento River, near Hood, underneath the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Project opponents say it would deny critical freshwater flows to the Delta and San Francisco Bay in order to supply corporate agribusiness and water brokers south of the Delta.
