Description

Governor Gavin Newsom has revived the Delta tunnel project today, putting new life into a plan that would divert water from the Sacramento River and route it under the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Newsom's looking to make it easier to move water around and ease the strain of California's ever-worsening drought. 

But, while it is a revival, the plan doesn't look exactly like the one championed by former Governor Jerry Brown. Some pretty significant differences are being highlighted in the most recent drafts. 

For more on this, KCBS Radio news anchors Bret Burkhart and Patti Reising are joined by Jeff Mount, Senior fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California's Water Center.
