Restore the Delta

Today, we honor and celebrate #WorldWaterDay 🌊 Water connects us all. It sustains our communities, nourishes our ecosystems, and shapes our shared future. With the help of Tribal voices, we also recognize their deep cultural and spiritual ties to water and how to protect it.

Today our RTD team is Rooted in Joy with @hatch_workshop ! 💫 Stop by and join us from 1:30 PM- 4:30 PM to learn more about local community organizations, art and culture, and so much more! 📍Hatch Workshop - 40 S Union St, Stockton, CA 95205 #stocktonca #communityevent

Yesterday, SWC joined Northern and Southern California legislators, along with groups like @RestoretheDelta, in a rare unifying occasion in California Water to support Sen. McNerney’s bill, SB 872, Protecting CA’s Water. SB 872 would safeguard the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta and the State Water Project by directing a combined $300 million annually toward levee repairs in the Delta and subsidence repairs to SWP canals south of the Delta. SWC is proud to support this bill and partner with a diverse coalition that shares the goal of protecting California’s water. Watch the press conference here: sd05.senate.ca.gov/news/videos. Learn more about the bill here: sd05.senate.ca.gov/news/northern-…. @AsmHarabedian @TimGraysonCA @SenatorAshby Sen.

#ICYMI: Today, @SenMcNerney ’s SB 872 brought together legislators, environmental groups, & State Water Contractors to protect CA’s water. We thank Senator McNerney for taking this step in prioritizing proactive efforts to protect the Delta! 👏 🔗 bit.ly/3PHsxNe

Thank you @SenMcNerney, for leading the change to protect the long-term health of the Delta for the millions of Californians who depend on it! 🎉🌊

We're united in support of SB 872, which I am proud to author. It's groundbreaking legislation that would protect the Delta and the state’s primary water system for decades to come. sd05.senate.ca.gov/news/northern-…

Today was a very rare occurrence: Legislators from Northern and Southern California united together on a water issue! Also noteworthy: We were joined today by environmentalists and state water contractors that have often been at odds over water issues.

The Restore the Delta Oscars are here 🎬🏆 We're honoring the species that make the Delta special, and even water projects that belong in the comedy category. 😂 #Oscars2026 #environmentalawareness

@ByIanJames @NewshaAjami Reservoirs are quite full.

The warm winter has left very little snow in California’s Sierra Nevada, and now an extreme heat wave is accelerating the rapid melt in the mountains. I spoke with @NewshaAjami about what warming winters mean for the future of California's water: latimes.com/environment/st…

Snow falls softly over the Decorah North nest, but eagle mom DNF continues incubating her egg alone. 🦅❄️ With no help yet from the male seen around the nest, she must leave at times to hunt, briefly exposing the egg to the cold before returning to warm it again. Her determination is incredible. Read the full story here: sportsmansparadiseonline.com/2026/03/11/dec… photo attribution: Raptor Resource Project #nature #wildlife
