Projecting Forward: A Framework for Groundwater Model Development Under the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Implementation of California's Sustainable Groundwater Management Act will require agencies throughout the state to undertake management actions that have been necessary for many years or, in some cases, decades, but have not been politically feasible without a state mandate. Specifically, water agencies will need to work collaboratively with one another, land-use planning agencies, and interested parties within the basin to develop plans to manage groundwater sustainably in the face of uncertainties associated with changing land-use practices, water supply, population growth, climate change, and other factors over a 50-year planning and implementation horizon. Groundwater models will play a critical role in achieving these goals. This report provides a framework for model development under SGMA. It offers guidance on how and when stakeholders should be engaged in model development; milestones for third-party model review; model documentation and archiving; and communicating model outputs to nontechnical audiences.
