The Delta Plan creates a common vision for taking on the region's current and predicted challenges. It includes regulations, non-regulatory recommendations, and performance measures to further water supply reliability, ecosystem resiliency, and the unique values of the Delta as a place.

Tracking performance measures is critical to the Plan's implementation and allows those at work in the region, interested parties, and the public to understand how well goals are being achieved.

The Council was created to align Delta decision-making with science. In the face of climate change, this connection is more important than ever. Progress requires bringing the right people to implement timely, science-based solutions.
