Abstract:
This paper presents updates to a relatively integrated hydro-economic model of California’s water supply system (CALVIN), showing how future sustainable groundwater management and climate change are likely to affect the operation of California’s statewide water supply system, and particularly the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. California’s water system connects most parts of the state, so that water policy changes in one part of the state can affect water management and deliveries in distant parts of California. This provides a high level of robustness in this system, and geographically disperses the impacts of local actions.
