Urban Runoff

The California Delta is often recognized for playing two major roles: as a fresh water supply for millions of Californians and hundreds of thousands of acres of productive agriculture and as a vibrant ecosystem that supports 750 species of plants, fish and wildlife, making it one of the most ecologically diverse aquatic habitats on the West Coast. But the Delta also functions as the gutter system for much of the state.The Delta and its tributaries are used to take wastewater and stormwater runoff from all over Northern California, out to the ocean.
