The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the confluence of the two major river systems of California's Central Valley, has been the subject of near continuous investigation since the advent of a general plan for the development of one of the State's greatest resources; water. Most of the study has been focused on a variety of schemes for the transference of water through the Delta Region to connect the principal elements of the impoundment and conveyance system designed to achieve a redistribution of water more in keeping with present and future need. Each of the schemes purported to solve the primary problem while minimizing detriment, or even enhancing, certain water uses within the Delta.
