Twin tunnels

The Twin Tunnels, proposed by the Governor of California jerry Brown, are two tunnels that would run from the delta to Southern California. The project would make two tunnels, each about 20-40 feet in wide and around 35 miles long, that would be 150 feet beneath the Delta. The Twin Tunnels will be extremely expensive especially to taxpayers and very destructive to the Delta's ecosystems. Much of California opposes them. The goal of the Twin Tunnels is to divert water from the Sacramento River, and around the Bay and delta area to distribute it to San Joaquin Valley agriculture business and also Southern California's cities and surrounding areas. The total cost of the project is estimated to be above $69 billion. State officials are want to try to put the project in without voter approval. The tunnels are a part of a restoration idea called the "Bay Delta Conservation Plan" or the "(BDCP)". While the "BDCP" tells people that the projects are a “conservation measure,” the only actual benefits are "state and federal water contractors who consider their water supplies unreliable" and also the union who would employ the workers for this project. Basically, the habitat conservation and restoration part of the "BDCP" is not much more than a "overpriced9 project that will destroy the Delta. And to add on to all of this if the Twin Tunnels do not deliver water at a reasonable cost, the undefined financing for the project would most likely make for a massive tax bill for ratepayers, taxpayers, and water agencies. This would place a large economic struggle on the State of California, and their approval would be far from positive response. In the event of the utility companies failing to par or being sued, the property owners in the areas that contain this project and the state treasury will be responsible to repay the costs. The Twin Tunnels leading people say that the project will benefit endangered and threatened fish, their
