- Das Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta ist ein großes Binnendelta und Ästuar in Nordkalifornien an der Pazifikküste der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. (de)
- Le delta du Sacramento, appelé aussi le delta San Joaquin-Sacramento (San Joaquin-Sacramento River Delta), est un delta à l'extrémité occidentale de la Vallée Centrale formé par les embouchures des fleuves Sacramento et San Joaquin, juste à l'est de l'endroit où le fleuve Sacramento se jette dans Suisun Bay, l'extension supérieure de la baie de San Francisco. La ville de Stockton se situe sur le fleuve San Joaquin, près de l'extrémité sud-est du delta. (fr)
- The Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta, or California Delta, is an expansive inland river delta and estuary in Northern California. The Delta is formed at the western edge of the Central Valley by the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and lies just east of where the rivers enter Suisun Bay, which flows into San Francisco Bay and then the Pacific Ocean via San Pablo Bay. The Delta is recognized for protection by the California Bays and Estuaries Policy. Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta was designated a National Heritage Area on March 12, 2019. The city of Stockton is located on the San Joaquin River on the eastern edge of the delta. The total area of the Delta, including both land and water, is about 1,100 square miles (2,800 km2). Its population is around 500,000 residents. The Delta was formed by the raising of sea level following glaciation, leading to the accumulation of Sacramento and San Joaquin River sediments behind the Carquinez Strait, the sole outlet from the Central Valley to the San Pablo and San Francisco Bays and the Pacific Ocean. The narrowness of the Carquinez Strait coupled with tidal action has caused the sediment to pile up, forming expansive islands. Geologically, the Delta has existed for about 10,000 years, since the end of the Last Glacial Period. In its natural state, the Delta was a large freshwater marsh, consisting of many shallow channels and sloughs surrounding low islands of peat and tule. Since the mid-19th century, most of the region has been gradually claimed for agriculture. Wind erosion and oxidation have led to widespread subsidence on the Central Delta islands; much of the Delta region today sits below sea level, behind levees earning it the nickname "California's Holland". Much of the water supply for Central California and Southern California is also derived from the Delta, via pumps located at the southern end of the Delta. The pumps deliver water for irrigation in the San Joaquin Valley and municipal water supply for Southern California. (en)
- Il Delta del Sacramento, o Delta del Sacramento-San Joaquin (Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta), è un esteso estuario nell'estremità occidentale della California Central Valley formato dalla foce dei fiumi Sacramento e San Joaquin, ad est della Suisun Bay, la parte superiore della baia di San Francisco dove sfocia. La città di Stockton si trova in prossimità del delta. (it)
- De Sacramento-San Joaquindelta is een rivierdelta en estuarium in Noord-Californië. De delta bestaat uit de gezamenlijke mondingen van de Sacramento en de San Joaquin en mondt uit in de Baai van San Francisco. Aan de oostelijke rand van de delta ligt de stad Stockton. De hoofdstad van de staat, Sacramento, ligt niet ver ten noorden van de delta. (nl)
