External links modified
Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified 1 one external link on California Water Fix and Eco Restore. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
 * Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20150506233515/http://baydeltaconservationplan.com:80/2015News.aspx to http://baydeltaconservationplan.com/2015News.aspx

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at ).

Cheers.— InternetArchiveBot  (Report bug) 03:20, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Misleading links?
"Environmental groups are unanimously opposed to and/or have voiced strong concerns about the project, including national groups such as: the Center for Biological Diversity, National Resources Defense Council, Defenders of Wildlife, Endangered Species Coalition; state groups such as Friends of the River, California SportFishing Protection Alliance, Sierra Club CA, Planning and Conservation League, Restore the Delta, Environmental Protection Information Center, California Water Impact Network, Clean Water Action, Citizens Water Watch Environmental Justice Coalition for Water, and Pacific Coast Fed. of Fishermen's Associations; and regional groups such as The Bay Institute, Coalition to Save the California Delta, North Coast Rivers Alliance, Water4Fish, AquAlliance, and various Sierra Club chapters.[34][36]"

The first link is for a Fox News article that only lists two groups. The second link is to a huge bunch of PDFs. Who knows what in them because trying to search through them all to find the info in the above article quote would be practically impossible.

This section should be deleted until there is better info.

New Information
It's currently being proposed that one tunnel be built, instead of two, due to lack of funding for the project, this information is relevant to the article but I'm not sure where it fits best SSMcCall (talk) 20:35, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Calif renamed to "Delta Conveyance Project"
California is still considering building this proposed project. But the name has been changed to "Delta Conveyance Project" ... see https://calmatters.org/environment/2022/06/california-water-delta-tunnel   and https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2023-12-09/newsom-administration-advances-delta-tunnel-project.

The project is essentially the same as prior proposals, but it is now a single tunnel 36 ft diameter (rather than two tunnels).

The sources above say (about the Delta Conveyance Project):  "The tunnel proposal, still in the early stages of environmental review, is the latest, scaled-down iteration of the contentious twin tunnels project, which Newsom scrapped in 2019 in favor of a single tunnel. "

In theory, Wikipedia could have two articles: one for the abandoned 2019 proposal, and a second article for the current single-tunnel proposal. On the other hand, the 2019 proposal never was built, and it evolved into the Delta Conveyance Project. They have the same purpose and identical route underground. The renaming was primarily a marketing effort.

So, I moved (renamed) the article to "Delta Conveyance Project". We can undo that move if there is opposition.

Thoughts on renaming this to "Delta Conveyance Project"? Noleander (talk) 15:11, 9 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Looks like the lead will need extensive revisions based on revised project. I prefer revising an article first with the name change being the last step. Easier to deal with any issues that come up. Isn't so confusing like the article in its current state. 〜 Adflatuss  •  talk  15:19, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
