California‘s Central Valley Groundwater Study: A Powerful New Tool to Assess Water Resources in California‘s Central Valley

Faunt, Claudia C.; Hanson, Randall T.; Belitz, Kenneth; Rogers, Laurel

Abstract:

Competition for water resources is growing throughout California, particularly in the Central Valley. Since 1980, the Central Valley‘s population has nearly doubled to 3.8 million people. It is expected to increase to 6 million by 2020. Statewide population growth, anticipated reductions in Colorado River water deliveries, drought, and the ecological crisis in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta have created an intense demand for water. Tools and information can be used to help manage the Central Valley aquifer system, an important State and national resource.
