Explanation:

No es un matiz pequeño: se refiere a un delta en concreto, el de Sacramento-San Joaquín o delta de California, que efectivamente es un delta interior o invertido:

Y por eso -Delta- va con mayúscula en el original. El original no está redactado muy bien y parece que Sacramento y Stockton son otra cosa, pero realmente pertenecen a este accidente geográfico, comparar imágenes:

El hecho de que se llame también delta de California lo dice todo:
The Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta, or California Delta, is an expansive inland river delta and estuary in Northern California in the United States.

'deep' is in reference to the deltas' physical depth, not the fact that they are far inland, distant from the coast - we know this because of the comparison with "extremely shallow Colorado River"....
