Short summary
The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta is home to organic soils that have subsided up to 9 m, decreasing native aquatic species populations, water quality degradation, vulnerable levees and decreasing agricultural viability. Once a vibrant ecosystem, cultivation of organic soils and hydrologic alteration threatens a key element of California's water supply system. Radical changes are required for meeting the ecosystem and water supply goals.
