Dear MWD Board of Directors,
I am writing to urge continued support and funding for the Delta Conveyance Project, a critical component of California’s long-term water management strategy. As a [your role, e.g., business owner, concerned resident] I emphasize the importance of this project in enhancing the reliability, sustainability, and resilience of our state’s water infrastructure.
The Delta Conveyance Project modernizes the State Water Project, improving water distribution across the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to secure water supplies for millions, bolster agricultural sectors, and protect ecosystems. Given that nearly 30% of Southern California’s water comes from the SWP, the project is essential for our livelihoods and economic stability.
The state’s water delivery system faces risks from earthquakes, climate-induced sea level rise, and increasing maintenance costs due to subsidence. Continued progress and completion of the DCP are vital for our water security amid growing population, climate challenges and evolving water management needs.
Thank you for your leadership and dedication to securing a sustainable water future for California.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
