Changes proposed to Calif. twin tunnel project
The height of pumping plants would also be reduced and the tunnels’ length would be shortened from 35 miles to 30 miles. The tunnels would carry water south from the delta to vast farmlands and thirsty cities. Proponents say the project would provide a reliable water supply while reducing the mortality of threatened fish, because water would mostly be diverted from the north portion of the delta, where fish would not be sucked into deadly pumps. more@sacbee
