Wednesday, June 4, 2008 Aquafornia Exclusive: Why the Delta matters to every Californian
here is just one interesting fact found in the full article:
"The Delta region is host to two of the largest surface water delivery systems in the world, and at least three smaller-scale municipal water systems... Nearly half of the states runoff from five major rivers empty into the Delta , and over two-thirds of California’s population, or 23 million people, get a portion or all of their drinking water from water projects flowing through the Delta. Water from the Delta is also used to irrigate millions of acres of prime farmland, supporting the nations #1 agricultural area and pumping $27 billion into the state’s economy."

"The Delta is a vital link in the state’s utility infrastructure as well. Natural gas was discovered in the Delta in 1935, and today, the Delta serves as an important source of natural gas and as an important underground gas storage area"
