"Comparing Futures for the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta" originated as a report by a multidisciplinary team of experts, including UC Davis scientists Jay Lund, William Fleenor, William Bennett, Richard Howitt, Jeffrey Mount, and Peter Moyle and the Public Policy Institute’s Ellen Hanak. These videos highlight presentations at a two-day workshop in 2008 to discuss those findings, including the idea that a peripheral canal —conveying water around the delta instead of through it — should be part of a long-term strategy to serve both water supply and environmental objectives.
