The Delta Stewardship Council was created in legislation to achieve the state mandated coequal goals for the Delta. "'Coequal goals' means the two goals of providing a more reliable water supply for California and protecting, restoring, and enhancing the Delta ecosystem. The coequal goals shall be achieved in a manner that protects and enhances the unique cultural, recreational, natural resource, and agricultural values of the Delta as an evolving place." (CA Water Code §85054)
We invite you to let us know your thoughts on any issue dealing with the Delta Stewardship Council. The Council is committed to engaging in a thorough two-way dialogue with everyone who relies on water in this state. That’s why we encourage you, your family, and your friends to become involved in the conversation either be using the form on this page or by sending us an email at one of the addresses below.
