All the water in the north in Shasta doesn't do the San Joaquin Valley a bit of good unless it can get here legally. The future of pumping through the Delta from north to south is constrained for a number of legal reasons. It is the single most important thing that water users in the south can do for future water availability. Of course, the water users are the ones who should pay for the project. A close second is groundwater recharge projects. I couldn’t possibly disagree more about the need for the California Water Fix (twin tunnels or maybe 1 tunnel).
