Delta Disrupted

The heart of California’s water system and the largest estuary on the West Coast—the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta—is highly vulnerable.  Environmental concerns are Delta Disrupted_Logomounting. Water supplies are at risk. 

The U.S. Geological Survey has warned of a 63 percent probability that a 6.7 magnitude or larger earthquake will hit in the next 30 years.

Delta Disrupted is a public education and outreach program aimed at raising awareness of the risks we face and the solutions before us.
