Together, the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta and San Francisco Bay comprise the largest estuary on the West Coast. The Delta is: 1. The hub of California’s water-delivery system. 2. A source of water for more than 20 million Californians and for millions of acres of farmland in the San Joaquin Valley. 3. Habitat for hundreds of species of wildl...
Below is a summary of some of the issues facing the Delta, and the role that USGS science has played in devising innovative new strategies and solutions.
The critical issues facing California’s water supply, and particularly the issues involving the central water hub of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and San Francisco Bay, pose continuing and evolving challenges to scientists and water managers. The USGS California Water Science Center has proposed new studies to help us understand how the Delta w...
To meet the demands of a growing California, USGS scientific investigations are helping State and local governments improve emergency management, optimize resources, collect contaminant-source and -mobility information, and improve surface- and ground-water quality.
The regional hydrology studies in the California Water Science Center have addressed the hydrologic response to climate for historical and future climates for a number of regions, including the southwest US, the California hydrologic region, the Great Basin, and upper Colorado River basin.
