Jump to key moments of Sacramento San Joaquin River Delta

The Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta sits at the heart of California’s water system, where the state’s two largest rivers merge before flowing into San Francisco Bay. This low-lying maze of channels, islands, and wetlands acts as the main transfer point between northern water sources and the farms and cities of central and southern California. Nearly two-thirds of the state’s population depends, directly or indirectly, on water that passes through this delta. Geographically, the delta is extre

The San Joaquin River runs through the center of California’s Central Valley, linking the snowfields of the Sierra Nevada to the tidal waters of the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta.
