What document was released by Governor Jerry Brown's administration in 2013 about Delta restoration?

The Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) was a comprehensive initiative released in 2013 aimed at restoring the health of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta ecosystem while ensuring a reliable water supply for California. This plan addressed critical issues related to water supply, ecosystem health, and flood protection in the Delta.

The BDCP was designed to implement the California Natural Resources Agency’s long-term vision for the Delta, which included habitat restoration, water conservation measures, and the construction of new water conveyance infrastructure to improve the overall management of California's water resources. This initiative exemplifies the state’s effort to find a balanced approach to both environmental protection and water supply reliability, making it a key document in the context of California's ongoing water challenges.

Other options, such as the Central Valley Flood Management Plan and the Delta Water Quality Improvement Framework, focus on specific aspects of water management and quality but do not encompass the broader and more integrative approach that the BDCP represents in terms of both ecosystem restoration and water supply considerations. The California Drought Response Plan relates to the state's response during periods of drought rather than specific long-term planning like the BDCP.
