This book explores the history of salinity incursion (the movement of salt water into freshwater) in the Sacramento - San Joaquin Delta, and the present-day challenges of managing salinity levels within this critical estuary. The author utilizes data from salinity measurements, tidal flow measurements and other field studies, as well as historical data, to analyze the complex relationship between salinity levels and the Delta's outflow to the ocean. Also explored are the various approaches to managing salinity incursion, including the construction of physical barriers and the implementation of water export and diversion programs. The author argues that the key to managing salinity in the Delta lies in understanding the interrelationship of factors such as sea level rise, climate change, and water use patterns, and that a comprehensive, adaptive management approach is essential to protect the Delta's fragile ecosystem and the water supply of millions of Californians.
