MWD approves $141.6M for planning a 45-mile tunnel to improve California's water supply reliability.

The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) has approved $141.6 million for planning the Delta Conveyance Project, a 45-mile tunnel aimed at improving water supply reliability in the state. Backed by Governor Gavin Newsom, the project faces opposition from environmentalists and Delta residents who fear environmental harm. The MWD's funding supports preconstruction planning but does not commit to the full $20.1 billion project, with a final decision expected in 2027.
