https:\/\/calmatters.org\/environment\/water\/2025\/03\/california-delta-tunnel-residents-fear<\/a><\/p>\n In an early iteration<\/a> in 1965, the Delta tunnel was to be an aqueduct. Billed \u201cthe peripheral canal,\u201d it was killed by voters<\/a> in 1982. It reemerged in the 2000s as a pair of tunnels. In 2019, Gov. Gavin Newsom downsized the plan<\/a> to a single tunnel and has promoted it since.<\/p>\n California\u2019s Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot said the \u201cwhiplash between very dry conditions and very wet conditions\u201d gives the project great urgency. In December, Newsom called the tunnel \u201cthe most important climate adaptation project in the United States of America.\u201d<\/p>\n According to state officials, the tunnel will increase annual Delta exports of water by half a million acre-feet, enough to serve almost 5 million people. Buckman said this will offset expected water losses this century due to climate change.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here’s an article discussing a massive tunnel project in Northern California to move water to the southern cities.\u00a0 More and more people are actively digging tunnels and pipelines for water in California. https:\/\/calmatters.org\/environment\/water\/2025\/03\/california-delta-tunnel-residents-fear \u2018This will make our town uninhabitable\u2019: The long-awaited Delta tunnel strikes fear in locals In an early iteration in 1965, the Delta…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-495","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-waternews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/scwcshareholders.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/scwcshareholders.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/scwcshareholders.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scwcshareholders.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scwcshareholders.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=495"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/scwcshareholders.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":497,"href":"https:\/\/scwcshareholders.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495\/revisions\/497"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/scwcshareholders.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=495"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scwcshareholders.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=495"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scwcshareholders.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\u2018This will make our town uninhabitable\u2019: The long-awaited Delta tunnel strikes fear in locals<\/h1>\n
