Department Information The Delta Reform Act of 2009 created the Delta Stewardship Council (Council). The mission of the Council is to achieve the coequal goals of "...providing a more reliable water supply for California and protecting restoring and enhancing the Delta ecosystem... in a manner that protects and enhances the unique cultural, recreational, natural resource, and agricultural values of the Delta as an evolving place" (CA Water Code SS 85054). To do this, the Council developed the Delta Plan, which is an enforceable long-term sustainable management plan for the Delta to ensure coordinated action at the federal, state, and local levels.


The Council is devoted to fostering a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout all levels within our organization. The long-term success of the Council depends on our ability to promote a culture of creativity as we work toward our mandate comprised of co-equal goals. We hope to attract and retain employees by valuing and respecting their unique knowledge, life experiences, and backgrounds. The Council believes that our differences are what make us stronger as a team, and we encourage a culture that celebrates the unique attributes of all.
