Peripheral Tunnel Plan Unveiled
Craig Miller/KQED
Protesters of Gov. Brown's tunnel plan demonstrate outside the Capitol in Sacramento.
California's already turbulent water wars were stirred up this week when Gov. Jerry Brown and U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar unveiled a $24 billion tunnel plan to bring water from Northern to Southern California. They say the proposal will help protect the fragile ecosystem of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta while ensuring reliable water deliveries. But a coalition of environmentalists, fishing groups and local governments vow to fight the plan.
