The Delta Division of the Central Valley Project (CVP) acts as the hub around which the CVP revolves. The Delta Division contains the facilities that transfer water from the Sacramento River, to bolster irrigation supplies to thirsty lands formerly dependent on water from the San Joaquin River. In time, the Delta Division became the hub for controversy revolving around the Central Valley Project.
