About Us
What We Do
The Delta Conveyance Design and Construction Authority (DCA) helps design, develop and implement the proposed Delta Conveyance program, an infrastructure project to support the resiliency of California’s fresh water supply via a proposed single tunnel solution.
The Delta Conveyance Design and Construction Authority (DCA) is pleased to present this brief video overview explaining: What is the DCA?
More informational videos will be added in the coming months to help the public build a deeper understanding of the DCA, key team members and the DCA’s role in DWR’s proposed Delta Conveyance Project. To get new video notifications, subscribe to our YouTube channel here.
Who We Are
