Managing groundwater sustainably in California’s San Joaquin Valley

Sustainable groundwater management is crucial to avoid adverse effects such as water level depletion, water quality degradation, and land subsidence. Using advanced airborne and satellite data, this project will develop decision-support models to identify necessary groundwater management actions in California's San Joaquin Valley. These models will help state and local water agencies adopt a transformative, data-driven approach to sustainable groundwater management, serving as a global example for similar initiatives.
