Gov. Gavin Newsom's $20 billion plan to build a massive, 45-mile long tunnel under the Sacramento -San Joaquin Delta won the endorsement of Silicon Valley's largest water agency on Tuesday .

The board of the Santa Clara Valley Water District approved spending $9.7 million for planning and geotechnical studies of the project.

The district is expected to vote by 2027 on whether to provide $650 million in construction funding for the plan.

Opponents, led by the Sierra Club , say the project is too expensive and threatens to remove too much fresh water from the Delta and San Francisco Bay .
