What's the Sierra Club California Water Committee and Why Do We Need It?
The Sierra Club California Water Committee is an issue committee that reports to the California Conservation Committee, the organization that sets Sierra Club's environmental policy for the State of California. Thus the State Water Committee is the main group responsible for defining the Sierra Club's water policies for California.
Poseidon's Toxic Desalination Proposal
The people behind the Poseidon project feel Orange County residents do not pay enough for water. They feel that residents can and should pay. They see a potential profit in each glass of water, each shower and each toilet flush. Their plan is simple, add more expensive water that we do not need into our existing water supply and then charge us more for the water we already own. This idea is so profitable that it resurfaces again and again going on nearly 20 years now, and the Sierra Club has been working hard to keep your water supply inexpensive and abundant.

Zombie Tunnel Project back to life as the Delta Conveyance
For many years we have opposed this project through its many iterations. The Peripheral Canal of the 80’s, the Bay Delta Conservation Project of the 00’s, the California WaterFix & Eco Restore Project of the 10’s and now the 20’s The Delta Conveyance project. Whether informally known as the twin tunnels, the tunnel boondoggle or the tunnel, we are forever hard at work to preserve and protect the Sacramento- San Joaquin Delta, the only and largest freshwater tidal estuary on the West Coast.
