Book excerpt: Excerpt from Delta and Suisun Bay Water Quality Investigation: August 1967 Seven hundred miles of meandering waterways interlace the low-lying islands of California's agriculturally rich Delta. Into this area of waterway and farmland flow the waters of the great Central Valley; south through the Sacramento River, and north by way of the San Joaquin River. This bulletin presents the results of a comprehensive study of the water of the channel system of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, Suisun toy, and the surrounding waterways as they relate to potential improvement in water quality which can be accomplished as a result of the construction of major works of the State Hater Project. The Delta and Suisun Boy Water Quality Investigation was conducted over a four-year period. Water quality information resulting from the investigation has aided in the planning of the Delta facilities and the San Joaquin drainage facilities. This is important because maintenance of satisfactory water quality within the Delta is related to the successful operation of these facilities. Data regarding past, present, and future water quality of the waters in the Delta and Suisun Bay are summarised in this report. Hater quality relationships are characterized under various conditions of hydraulic regimen and waste disposal. Hydrographic data are presented to aid in the design and future operation of facilities of the State Water Project. Results are presented that show the Importance of project operation and pollution control in meeting water quality objectives within the Delta. The studies reported on in this bulletin were essentially completed during 1965. Partially on the basis of the results of these studies, additional studies have been made and other studies are currently in progress to further refine and evaluate the information as reported in this bulletin. In addition, negotiations with local Delta water users since the completion of the studies have established certain criteria for water quality In the Delta. The State Hater Project in coordination with the Federal Central Valley Project will be operated to meet these criteria. Therefore, the operation of the Peripheral Canal will be different than was assumed for these studios and will be flexible to meet the two basic objectives - water transfer and protection of the various resources dependent on Delta waters.
