From the Bureau of Reclamation:
The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) proposes to facilitate and approve, in accordance with law, policy, rules, regulations and contracts, then in effect, the voluntary transfer of water from willing Sellers located primarily upstream of the Delta, to willing Buyers located primarily south of the Delta, and in the San Francisco Bay Area. The proposed project to transfer water (North to South) is needed by water users that are at risk of experiencing water shortages and who require these supplemental water supplies to meet anticipated existing demands. The proposed action includes a range of potential transfers of up to 250,000 acre-feet (AF) annually from Sellers to Buyers. The methods by which water may be made available for transfer include groundwater substitution and reservoir releases.
Draft EA/IS posted for a 30 day comment period on 4/11/2025. Comments due 5/12/2025.
