White Paper Released on Integrating Storage into State Water System

This week, the U.C. Davis Center for Watershed Sciences released a white paper on integrating water storage into California’s changing water system.  The white paper reviews the benefits and challenges of water storage in the State’s evolving water system, and provides some quantitative insights from an integrated analysis of this system.  The pilot study described in the white paper focused on water storage, and concludes that the ability to utilize additional water storage varies greatly with location, the availability of water conveyance capacity, and operation of the system to integrate surface, groundwater, and conveyance facilities.  The white paper can be accessed here.
