Aerial view of hyacinth invasion at various sites in the Delta. Views include various waterways (rivers, sloughs, etc.) from North of Tracy, California to East and North of the Clifton Court Forebay. Commonly called the "fastest-growing plant in the world", a single small water hyacinth can grow to cover 6,500 square feet of open water in a single growing season. This is particularly concerning to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) as mounds of the plants can foul the delta pumps, putting the delivery of water to Southern California at risk.
