DWR certified the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and completed an extensive environmental review. DWR selected the \u201cBethany Reservoir Alignment\u201d for further engineering, design, and permitting, which includes two new intakes in the North Delta, one below-ground tunnel 45 miles in length (36 feet diameter), and a pumping plant connected to the Bethany Reservoir. The Delta Conveyance Project is a key part of California\u2019s Water Resiliency Portfolio and Governor Newsom\u2019s Water Supply Strategy. The project will modernize the state\u2019s water infrastructure to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Capture and move more water during wet seasons to better endure dry seasons,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Minimize future losses from climate-driven weather extremes,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Protect against earthquakes disrupting water supplies,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Continue meeting regulatory water quality and fishery requirements,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add new operating rules for further fishery protections,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Include a Community Benefits Program to ensure local communities get the means and resources to achieve tangible and lasting benefits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-upgrading-the-state-water-project-swp-infrastructure-is-critical\">Why Upgrading The State Water Project (SWP) Infrastructure Is Critical<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Delta Conveyance refers to State Water Project (SWP) infrastructure in the vast network of waterways comprising the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Delta) that collects and moves fresh, clean, and affordable water throughout major regions of the state from the Bay Area to Southern California. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.parsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Delta-Conveyance-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28604\" style=\"width:351px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.parsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Delta-Conveyance-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.parsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Delta-Conveyance-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.parsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Delta-Conveyance-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.parsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Delta-Conveyance-2-1536x1151.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.parsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Delta-Conveyance-2-2048x1535.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>A drone aerial view of Bethany Dams and Reservoir, located on the California Aqueduct and downstream from the Harvey O.

The infrastructure that enables conveyance for California\u2019s primary water supply is critical to the health of local communities and the success of the state\u2019s economy. Because the SWP relies on the Delta\u2019s natural channels to convey water, it is vulnerable to earthquakes and sea level rise. Upgrading the SWP infrastructure protects against these threats and secures the longevity of the SWP and the future reliability of SWP water supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-engineering-for-environmental-sustainability\">Engineering For Environmental Sustainability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The DCA is responsible for the engineering and design work and, eventually, project construction. Under the direction of DWR, the DCA made several notable design refinements specifically to avoid or minimize local construction impacts. The refinements included reducing the number of tunnel shafts, establishing state-of-the-art fish screens to improve performance, reducing the size of the on-bank structure, and connecting straight to the California Aqueduct. These creative solutions help to reduce the overall project footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-parsons-blocks-author\"><span style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.parsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Tunnel-Icon-e1665581264144.png)\" class=\"author-avatar\" title=\"Tunnel Icon\"><\/span><h5>Explore Our Groundbreaking Tunnel Innovation<\/h5><div class=\"author-desc\"><p>For over 70 years, we\u2019ve planned, designed, engineered, built, and managed complex tunnels from transit to sewers and pipelines.
