The Department of Water Resources (DWR) is proposing the Delta Conveyance Project to modernize the State Water Project (SWP) water transport infrastructure in the Delta to restore and protect the reliability of this important state water supply. The Draft EIR analyzes three alignment options: Eastern, Central, and Bethany Reservoir; and four capacity options: 3,000 cubic feet per second (cfs), 4,500 cfs, 6,000 cfs, and 7,500 cfs. The proposed project is the Bethany Reservoir Alignment and includes intakes B and C, and a single tunnel with a total conveyance capacity of 6,000 cfs. It follows an eastern alignment roughly parallel to Interstate 5 to a site south of the Byron Highway, adjacent to the existing Bethany Reservoir, where the California Aqueduct begins.
