Project Summary:
Climate change projections predict a drastic increase in flood risk for the Lower San Joaquin River and Delta South Basin in the coming years due to rising sea levels and an increase in flows coming down the San Joaquin River. In partnership with the California Resilience Challenge, the San Joaquin Area Flood Control Agency is engaging with State, regional, and local stakeholders to develop alternatives for a coordinated basin-wide solution that addresses this increase in flood risk while also looking to achieve multiple other benefits, including improving habitat through ecosystem restoration, improving groundwater sustainability, and enhancing public recreation.
