About Us
What We Do
The Delta Conveyance Design and Construction Authority was formed in May 2018 to help 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.
Who We Are
The Delta Conveyance Design and Construction Authority (DCA) was formed in May 2018 as a joint powers authority between participating public water agencies. Currently, the DCA is charged through a joint exercise of powers agreement with the Department of Water Resources (DWR) with engineering and design planning activities in support of DWR’s renewed environmental review for a proposed single-tunnel Delta Conveyance program.
