SB 650
SB 650 reforms Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta governance to balance water supply, agriculture, and environmental restoration across competing regional interests.
SB 650 establishes comprehensive governance and management reforms for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California's largest estuary and a critical water supply source. The bill creates new institutional frameworks and authorities to address longstanding conflicts between water supply, environmental protection, and agricultural interests in the Delta region.
The Delta supplies drinking water to 25 million Californians and irrigation water for millions of acres of farmland while serving as habitat for endangered species. The reform act directly affects water policy, agricultural operations, environmental restoration, and regional governance affecting Northern and Central California for decades.
