State Water Project (SWP) contractors who purchase water exported from the Delta are understandably frustrated that after nearly two decades and hundreds of millions of ratepayer dollars, their dream of a so-called Delta solution (now called the Delta Conveyance Project or DCP) is no closer to reality today than in 2017, when the Department of Water Resources (DWR) approved the previous ill-fated twin tunnels project. Despite DWR’s relentless pro-tunnel propaganda, it still lacks most key approvals, including the water rights necessary to divert water at promised levels as well as any means to pay for the latest version of the twenty-plus billion dollar debacle.
